Bavaria

The organisation is referred to by the aliases Bavaria and Bayreuth, and its headquarters is located in Germany. It is identified in open‑source reporting as a German‑based entity that has been referenced in connection with multiple cyber incidents. The aliases suggest a regional or governmental association within the Federal Republic of Germany. No further detail about its core mission or services is provided in the source material.

The organisation has been mentioned in reports detailing a Russian state‑sponsored APT29 campaign that targeted German political parties with a WINELOADER backdoor in February 2024. It also appears in a notice about a security incident at an IT service provider supporting Chambers of Crafts in Germany that began on 1 January 2024. A cyber‑attack against a law firm in Bayreuth, Bavaria, is recorded for 4 December 2022.
