DDoS attacks, or Distributed Denial of Service attacks, are causing significant disruptions to essential digital services. A recent incident in Bremen left residents unable to contact police for nearly two hours due to an overwhelming flood of online requests, allegedly from Russian hackers. Cybersecurity experts like Carola Heilemann-Jeschke note that these attacks are now a frequent challenge, prompting discussions on the necessity for improved security measures, particularly among smaller companies and governmental bodies. The issue highlights Germany's need for a stronger cybersecurity infrastructure amid escalating digital threats.
CIO Carola Heilemann-Jeschke emphasized that cyberattacks have become the 'new reality' that authorities and organizations in Germany must deal with daily.
Christian Dorr, host of the National Cybersecurity conference, stated that Germany needs to improve its cybersecurity measures, especially for smaller companies and state authorities.
