German police arrested a Polish-German citizen, Martin S., for operating a dark web site that solicited murder of politicians, including former chancellors Angela Merkel and Olaf Scholz. The site, active since June 2025, contained instructions for making explosives and personal information about targets. Prosecutors charged him with serious crimes against the state. This incident highlights a rise in attacks on politicians and cyber threats in Germany, with a significant increase in DDoS attacks noted by the cyber-security agency BSI.
