China denies Germany's cyberattack allegations as "groundless."

China has rejected Germany's accusations of a 2021 cyberattack on its federal cartography agency, labeling them as "groundless." Germany summoned China's ambassador after attributing the attack to Chinese state actors, which compromised private and corporate devices. This incident adds Germany to a list of countries, including the U.S. and U.K., that have accused China of cyber-espionage, which Beijing continues to deny.
