Germany Sees Big Rise in Security Problems Affecting Infrastructure (reuters.com)
Germany has experienced a big increase in the number of security incidents hitting critical infrastructure such as power grids and water suppliers, the BSI cybersecurity agency said on Sunday, adding however that they were not all due to hacking. From a report: The Welt am Sonntag weekly had reported on Sunday that Germany had learned of 157 hacker attacks on critical infrastructure companies in the second half of 2018 compared to 145 attacks in the whole of the previous year. "The number of reports of IT security incidents has increased but it is not to be equated with the number of cyber attacks," tweeted the BSI in response to the newspaper report.
Duh.

So disconnect essential infrastructure from networks and run them the old-fashioned way with people. if you can't afford to have a hacked you never should be connecting it to a network in the first place. Duh. It might be more expensive but is retroactively Justified. That's what money is for solving problems if you cut the quality of solutions to save money, you doing it ass backwards.
Trump was overheard imploring Germany builds more walls to increase security and keep those bad hombres away from critical infrastructure.

Are you having a stroke?
Well, not all of the things we saw were due to these "hacker" bogeymen. Or even most of them, really. We just like to make noise.
Don't you like the sound of "hacker attacks!"? Or does it need more exclamation points, y'think? Maybe have marketing give it the old once-over.
Ridiculous. Why donâ(TM)t they just keep the intranet devices in the intranet and externals on the external?

Are you mentally challenged? I understood him just fine. Anyway, here's a punctuation fixed version for you:
That's what money is for - solving problems. If you cut the quality of solutions to save money, you're doing it ass backwards.

David Lane is going to die irrelevant, like the treasonous faggot nazi movement just did. We're going to bury you deplorable faggots under the Federal prison.
Just. like. Trump. the. traitor.
Trump's greatest lifetime achievement was sucking the cocks of strongmen on television.

They are a neocon-fascist propaganda outlet, and well-known for it.
And they are members of the fascist Swiss Mont Perelin Society. A huge lobbyist consisting of 500(!) think tanks, with only three goals: Replacing the monopoly of the people (state/government) with their private for-profit monopoly; Letting corporations use all our infrastructure and state services, but never paying for them, and making us pay instead; Forcing everyone to work (for them) or die like a dog due to lack of any social net.
You clearly continue to underestimate trumps stupidity wait til his beady eyes are peering through the bars at your soap on the floor
They don't see the point of actually usong money to do something good or even just useful.
All they want, is gamble with it so the silly number with the $ in front goes up.
Exponentially. Like an explosion with a very obvious end.
Meh, I'll take that over "democratic" socialist commie bullshit.
Oh let me guess. Your 36-acre free range server farm needs basic security practices to keep the nasties out? Whodathinkit amirite?
But nevermind, Cletus. The NSA are your "friends". They are only "looking after you". Or so they tell you. Hail our big brother!
You blackeyers sure are the most pathetic of all conspiracy theorists.
Seems that this coincides with Germany getting more critical of the US and certain of their "allies", and refusing to weasel out of the Nord Stream deal with Russia. Just last week there was a poll which revealed that German people are far more worried by the US than Russia. And no, it wasn't an article by RT, it was actually Reuters, IIRC some 85% viewed the Germany-US relation as negative.
rtb61 has quite a large surplus that he could offload.

I agree with not everything should be tied to networks, network security requires constant updating and more maintenance and in some cases deploying fixes can be disruptive.
The thing with West and later German infrastructure was to keep investing in infrastructure.
Stop spending due to spending on welfare and infrastructure starts to not work as well as it once did.
West Germany could spend a lot of the best infrastructure to show it was better than anything Communism could offer.
Germany could spend on infrastructure as its still had a lot of money to invest in large projects.
Now that money has to look after generations of people rather that the best infrastructure.
Stop investing and spending and that once great infrastructure starts to need more maintenance and more investment.
Giving alway new welfare payments to many random people will not provide the needed investment in infrastructure every year.
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
"Stop spending due to spending on welfare" = not what happened, corporate tax cheat apologist moron. Sorry. Your false narrative is plain as day moron. You have zero economic background and no facts at your command.
Nazi faggot traitors don't get a vote, sorry. You get the rope around your fat faggot traitor neck.
I think this increase in incidents may very well be caused primarily by the introduction of new laws (called "KRITIS" in Germany, based on EU-Regulation 2008/114/EG) that require companies (from an increasing number of industry sectors) to report security incidents.
In the past, the default reaction of companies to security events has always been to be silent about them and tell no one in fear of bad PR. Now, there is a legal risk involved with that strategy, so more events get reported.
I wonder if this increase is only for Germany, or if other EU countries are affected too.
"consult". The East will rise again!
