Overview

• The indictment filed at the Amtsgericht Tiergarten targets a 30-year-old German on two counts of data espionage and one count combined with particularly serious computer sabotage.
• Prosecutors and the BKA say the attacker removed about 20 terabytes of data and deleted systems tied to critical infrastructure.
• Rosneft Deutschland had to take all systems offline for forensic work, generating roughly €9.76 million in follow-on costs.
• Authorities estimate about €2.6 million in additional losses from days of disrupted communications, operations, and logistics, with regional fuel deliveries partly affected but a major interruption avoided.
• Investigators report that stolen data later surfaced on a website allegedly run by the suspect with two other Anonymous members, which has been inactive since mid-2023.
