German police arrest 20-year-old man after massive data breach

 

BERLIN (Reuters) - German police have arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with one of the country’s biggest data breaches, which affected hundreds of politicians, the BKA federal criminal police said on Tuesday. German authorities are under fire for their handling of the breach in which personal data and documents from German politicians and public figures, including Chancellor Angela Merkel, were published online.

 

Police searched the apartment of the suspect, located in the central state of Hesse, on Sunday and arrested him, the BKA Federal Criminal Office said in a statement that gave no further details. A news conference is due to be held at 1200 local time (1100 GMT). Der Spiegel reported on its website that the 20-year-old had confessed. It quoted an investigator as saying the suspect had not been aware of the scale of the effect of his actions, and so far nothing pointed to any link to foreign security agencies.

 

It was unclear whether the arrest was connected to the search of an apartment on Sunday of a 19-year-old IT worker in the southern city of Heilbronn. The teenager, Jan Schuerlein, said on Twitter he was being treated as a witness in the investigation and was cooperating with the police. The breach has prompted calls for a tightening of data security laws, especially after the BSI cyber defense agency said it had been contacted by a lawmaker in early December about suspicious activity on private email and social media.

U.S.-China trade talks extend into evening of second day:

 

BEIJING (Reuters) - A second day of U.S.-China trade talks in Beijing extended into Tuesday evening, a source with knowledge of the meetings said, as the world’s two largest economies looked to resolve a bitter trade dispute. The source confirmed to Reuters that talks were “ongoing”, but few other details had emerged.

 

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross predicted on Monday that Beijing and Washington could reach a trade deal that “we can live with”. But he said that immediate trade issues would be easiest to tackle while enforcement issues and structural reforms, such as intellectual property rights and market access, would be more challenging. The U.S. team was being led by Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Jeffrey Gerrish.

 

The meetings are the first face-to-face talks since U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed in December to a 90-day truce in a trade war that has roiled global markets. Trump imposed import tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of Chinese goods last year and has threatened more to pressure Beijing to change its practices on issues ranging from industrial subsidies to intellectual property to hacking. China has retaliated with tariffs of its own.

 

The U.S. delegation also included under secretaries from the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy and Treasury, as well as senior officials from those agencies and the White House. Earlier on Tuesday, China approved five genetically modified (GM) crops for import, a move seen as a “goodwill gesture” by some in the U.S. agriculture industry that could boost China’s overseas grains purchases and ease pressure from the United States to open its markets to more farm goods. The timely approval of GM crops had been an early Trump administration demand in trade talks dating back to 2017. U.S. farmers and global seed companies have long complained about Beijing’s slow and unpredictable process for approving GM crops for import, stoking trade tensions between the two sides.
