An expert group on <A HREF="http://www.europemedia.net/showrelatednews.asp?LinkedKeywords=Hacker&NotArticleID=7528">hacker</A>s has advised the German federal government to set
up a new office dealing with emergency plans and reconnaissance on hacker
attacks.
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 <A HREF="http://www.europemedia.net/showrelatednews.asp?LinkedKeywords=Software&NotArticleID=7528">software</A> 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.
