Unknown hackers had infiltrated the FuhrparkService (BWFU) transport fleet.
There was an attack on the company's IT network by an unidentified external party.
The BWFU is run by Germany's Bundeswehr military and comprises 33,500 vehicles, including trucks, and chauffeur-driven cars assigned to parliamentarians, including those in Berlin.
The hackers obtained politicians' private addresses and other sensitive details such as times booked and locations.
The hacking incident resulted immediately in all electronic links to clients, including the ministry itself, the military, and the federal parliament, being capped.
