[Regnum] German authorities are ill-prepared for major cyber attacks. There are no structures in the country that would coordinate efforts to counter hackers in an emergency, said the head of the Federal Office for Security of Information Technology (BSI) Claudia Plattner in an interview with the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel.
According to Plattner, it is impossible to “call each other 16 times to find out what is going on where.”
“What should we do if, for example, the lights go out in Hamburg and Munich at the same time due to a cyber incident, resulting in the worst case from geopolitical tensions? Then we will need to do everything from the first second to overcome this crisis,” the official noted.
Plattner emphasized that the German authorities are not prepared for such incidents. At the same time, she complained that the creation of a common database with which the supposed body to combat cyber attacks could work was contrary to German law.
| “The thing is impossible as defined, so therefore we should do nothing at all to harden ourselves.” |
At the same time, Plattner called on the authorities to pay attention to the problem of ensuring cybersecurity.
As Regnum reported, on March 11, the online resources of many French government agencies were subjected to a powerful cyber attack.
It was noted that the attack began on the evening of March 10. Now access to government information resources has been restored, and the damage from the actions of hackers has been minimized.
BFMTV clarified that government agencies were subjected to a DDoS attack, in which numerous requests to an Internet resource lead to its overload.
In February, the French Ministry of the Armed Forces announced that it had information about cyber attacks of “Russian origin” on the country’s defense enterprises. According to the head of the ministry, Sebastien Lecornu, these cyber attacks are allegedly becoming more aggressive and occurring more often.
Previously, Russian media noted that “ Russian hackers ” have turned into a convenient “scarecrow” for American and European media and political strategists. The Kremlin said that no evidence of such attacks had ever been presented. Such accusations take on the character of some kind of mania or phobia, noted the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov.
