At the moment, communication networks in Germany would fall much too easily to serious hacking attempts, according to an internal study prepared by the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office. The report also believes oil, gas and electricity supplies could be targeted. Meanwhile, the study advises the government to spend more money on preparations against hacker attacks. Germany should also develop its own national software and cryptographic applications, the study says. While experts fear attack from independent hackers, they say that the damage could be even more severe if government-supported hackers tried to intrude German systems.
