German lawmakers consider increased cybercapabilities

Germany’s Interior Ministry is pushing for legislation that would allow law enforcement agencies to attack cyberthreats by hunting down foreign threats, shutting down foreign computer networks, and redirecting data. The draft law states, “Like law enforcement, prevention of threats does not stop at national borders when it comes to combating cyberattacks.” Watch for laws like these to pass and for German agencies to become shockingly powerful, aggressive and effective.
