Editorial Staff · 1 min read

The German interior ministry has announced plans for an 'active cyberdefense' strategy in response to a significant rise in cybercrime incidents.

In 2025, Germany recorded around 334,000 cases of cybercrime, with a notable two-thirds of these cases originating from abroad or remaining untraceable.
