BEIJING (Reuters) – China said Germany has publicly made groundless accusations against it about “so-called cyber intrusion,” the Chinese embassy in Germany said.
“China firmly opposes the manipulation of cybersecurity issues and hyped up so-called China-related cyber threats,” the embassy said in a statement released late on Wednesday.
Germany accused China of having been behind a 2021 cyberattack on the federal cartography agency for espionage purposes and summoned Beijing’s ambassador to Berlin to lodge a complaint.
