    Ah, how nice, just before the AfD, Front National and Reform UK takes power. Surely nothing bad will happen here.

    Under the new rules, the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), Germany’s foreign intelligence service, will be allowed to respond to cyberattacks by foreign powers with counterattacks of its own. The range of possible measures is broad, from deleting and manipulating data to disabling entire systems and, if necessary, even destroying physical weapons such as drones that could be deployed against Germany.

    Under certain conditions, the agencies will also be permitted to enter homes and business premises covertly, for example, to prepare surveillance operations. They will, however, not be allowed to use force against people. An independent oversight board is to be established to monitor the agencies.

    This is some “Ghost in the Shell” type shit

      Makes sense, though. Germany has long become the laughing stock of Europe with their non-response to Russian drone attacks. German intelligence privileges are laughable compared to those of most nations and especially compared to France or the UK. This is probably already a reality in most EU countries.
