long article 4 min

The German domestic intelligence agency, BfV, and the Association for Security in Business (VSV) held a conference in Berlin on hybrid attacks targeting Germany's economy. BfV President Sinan Selen highlighted Iran and Russia as significant threats, pointing to the blurring lines between economic espionage, cyberattacks, and military actions. Iranian intelligence is reportedly aggressive, targeting exiled Iranians and Western technology. Selen warned that companies with ties to Ukraine or involved in arms logistics are particularly vulnerable to Russian threats, as Germany is considered Russia's primary adversary due to its geopolitical position within the EU and NATO. The BfV is especially concerned about the vulnerability of small and medium-sized enterprises to these attacks.
