    From what is known out of german media it basically seems to be a strategic attack on the GSM-R system, where the main system cables were cut near Herne (NRW) and their backup cables somewhere in Berlin leading to a 3-hour standstill of all trains in Northern Germany.
    At the time being that's basically about it as further information is rejected due to ongoing investigations.

    A cyber attack does not include the cutting of cables.

    Nothing's clear yet, except that the usual suspects of those attacks didn't claim responsibility like they did otherwise.

    At least no one was hurt and everything's got back to normal fairly quick.

    Yeah...Russia doesn't do penny-anny stuff like that. If they wanted to cripple the Germans, they'd do something like convincing them to intentionally cripple their domestic energy production so as to become utterly dependent on foreign imports, and then cutting-off said imports. They're more like Michael in The Godfather than some two-bit punk LA street thugs.
