Hot Take:

When cyber bears go hunting, they apparently like to take a swipe at everything from government agencies to political parties, and this time they’ve set their sights on Germany. Fancy that, APT28 is at it again, and they're about as subtle as a bear in a china shop. Germany's response? "Unbearable" and "unacceptable." As for the US, they're standing with their buddy Germany, condemning the cyber growls and helping to lock the digital honey pots. But let's be real, when it comes to Fancy Bear, the only real surprise is when they decide to hibernate.
