The Fraunhofer Institute for Large Structures in Production Technology (Fraunhofer IGP) will be conducting research on the former site of the engine manufacturer Caterpillar in Warnemünde.

A cyber espionage group originating from China called "Mustang Panda" is alleged to have planted malware to take over computer systems of European shipping companies in Norway, Greece and the Netherlands.

The tools allow the attacker to completely take over a target system and execute their own commands. The information comes from the Slovakian cyber security firm ESET (derived from the Egyptian guardian goddess ISIS) and it, alongside UK and US agencies, warns of a significant cyber security threat from China, particularly to organisations in...
