The Chaos Computer Club has asked federal government to renew IT security architecture from scratch after hacker attack on federal network. The attacked Information network Berlin-Bonn, although halfway to state of usual IT security, said club spokesman Frank Rieger of news agency DPA. “But that’s not good overall.”

The case shows that one must reinvent IT security, said Rieger. “This may take ten years to finish. But we now need to start developing software components that have always been vulnerable, from scratch and safely as open systems. ” These programmes could n be made available to industry, consumers and also state. It costs a lot of money and requires government action, but it is possible.
Rieger criticized a ‘ tinkering ‘. If y continue, ten years from now, y will still be without safe systems. “The IT systems are currently like a water pipe, in which water is injected in an infinite number of places. And re is a lot of arguing about wher to seal leaks with blue or red staple plaster. But we need a new line. “
At same time, club spokesman warned against prematurely drawing conclusions about technical sequence of attack, as long as details were not made transparent. “This also applies to question of who is responsible for attack. This is all speculation so far. ” At first it was said that group APT28 was behind it – but most recently Russian group snake was suspected.

The CSU condemned leakage of information about ongoing hacker attack on government network. “It is a particularly reprehensible secret treachery which has led to fact that facts have become public,” said union interior expert Stephan Mayer (CSU) of Rheinische Post. This procedure must also be prosecuted. Mayer said in a conversation with Bild newspaper, Federal Office of Security in Information technology and federal safety authorities, from his point of view, were “very professional, prudent and responsible” with attacks. They tried to keep damage as low as possible. He could “not understand in any way” criticism of federal government’s information policy.
Previously, Green politician Konstantin von Notz, who, like Mayer, is a member of parliamentary control Committee, asked “full enlightenment” as to why members of Committee had not been informed of case in advance. It was “totally unacceptable” that information about media had been brought to public. In an interview with new press in Passau, SPD internal politician Burkhard Lischka called it a “scandal” that intelligence Control Panel on media had experienced attack.
The Union’s external expert Jürgen Hardt, as a consequence of hacker attacks, demanded a worldwide approach against such activities. “We need an international ostracism of state attacks and manipulations in digital world,” he said to Rhenish post.
