The federal government received 325 reports of attacks on critical infrastructures last year. Since April 1, 2025, operators of critical infrastructure have been required by law to report cyberattacks within 24 hours.
The figure was announced by the Federal Office for Cybersecurity (Bacs) on Monday in its report on the second half of 2025. Around a quarter of the reported incidents came from the administrative sector.
This was followed by IT and telecommunications companies as well as banks and insurance companies. Around one in five reported attacks were related to hacking. 16 percent were so-called DDoS attacks. These were followed by the theft of access data, malware, data leaks and blackmail software (ransomware).
Tens of thousands of cyber incidents were reported voluntarily, most of them by private individuals. In total, the Bacs registered almost 65,000 reports in 2025. The figures are stable in comparison at a high level, writes the Bacs. In the previous year, it had received around 63,000 reports.
