Germany is investigating a security breach to its defence and interior ministries' private networks, a government spokesman has confirmed.
A notorious Russian hacking group known as Fancy Bear, or APT28, is being widely blamed in German media.
They are thought to be behind a number of cyber-attacks on the West, including breaches in the 2016 US election.
The hack was first realised in December and may have lasted up to a year, the DPA news agency reported.
The group is reported to have targeted the federal government's internal communications network with malware.
