Cyberkrieg am Golf

Während in Mittelost der erste umfassende Cyberkrieg zu entbrennen droht, sucht die Bundesregierung die Voraussetzungen für eigene Cyberangriffe zu schaffen. Im Mai wurde berichtet, Berlin werde schon bald nach der Europawahl die Legalisierung sogenannter Hackbacks in die Wege leiten; dabei handelt es sich um Cyberattacken auf Stellen im Ausland, denen vorgeworfen wird, ihrerseits Onlineüberfälle auf deutsche Ziele durchgeführt zu haben.[7] Kurz zuvor hatte der Abteilungsleiter Cyber- und Informationssicherheit im Bundesinnenministerium, Andreas Könen, verlangt, „im äußersten Fall“ müsse „zur Abwehr“ von Cyberattacken auch die „Abschaltung von Angreifersystemen“ möglich sein – und zwar „durch aktive Cyberabwehrmaßnahmen“.[8] Mit dem Begriff „aktive Abwehr“ werden gewöhnlich „Hackbacks“ umschrieben.

It‘s been three long years since we voted to Leave – which is why we can, must and will do so by October 31

I know that if we fail again, we face a democratic explosion and a deluge in which both major parties may be swept away. And so, my friends, it is absolutely vital that we keep our eyes on the prize. It has been a long and parching march, but the oasis is finally in sight. We are so nearly there.
