Germany proposes first-ever use of EU cyber sanctions over Russia hacking

Berlin has officially called for the use of a new EU sanctions framework to target Russian individuals following the 2015 hack attack against the German parliament’s IT system, an inquiry has revealed.

If agreed, the plan, which was recommended by Berlin last month, would be the first use of an EU cyber sanctions regime adopted in 2017.
