Berlin’s highest court should completely rebuild its computer infrastructure after hackers ran roughshod through the network and likely stole data in the process, according to a forensic report released Monday.

Poor security controls allowed the attackers to install two types of information-stealing malware last fall, said the study conducted by an IT subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom and released by German lawmakers investigating the incident.

“A motivated attacker would have been able to use this network structure to infect almost every device,” the report states.
While the end goal of the hackers is unclear, the report outlines how they were able to gain broad access to the court’s data by burrowing into the network using an infected computer.

The Trickbot code stole passwords saved on the computer system, as well as those entered into online backing sites, the report found.
