People can read on their own that it is about the BSI, contrary to your propaganda. Go back to the Spiegel or Zeit forums, where Russian trolls usually spend their time.

Not sure about your agenda and why you spill inaccuracies and distort what articles say with a tendency to promote Russian SWR goals.

1. The problem arose because the parliamentarians did not use experts from the BSI but have no clue but do it on their own with their own people. The BSI protected government network is not affected.

2. The German interior intelligence agency is not "involved" as you put it - what agenda do you have? - the article says parliamentarians need to decide if they want to ask the counterespionage department of the German interior intelligence agency, what some don't want.

The German BSI is not part of the "intelligence community" and is not an intelligence agency, no matter how often you repeat your conspiracy theory. To spare everyone the trip to Wikipedia:

"The Federal Office for Information Security (German: Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, abbreviated as BSI) is the German Upper-level Federal agency in charge of managing computer and communication security for the German government. Its areas of expertise and responsibility include the security of computer applications, critical infrastructure protection, Internet security, cryptography, counter eavesdropping, certification of security products and the accreditation of security test laboratories."

Again, the German BSI does not the same thing as the Russian GRU/SWR.

The German BSI is not a "secret service".

1. People want to work, and I assume the 'productivity' of politicians (meaning "we don't want security") brought this in the first place. 2. If sophisticated, the outflow of information might be with a mobile device plugged in, or other means to jump the air gap when ethernet is disconnected.

"As if the local agencies are somehow less dangerous for the individual politician than the foreign agencies."

So your point is the German IT sec agency BSI is as dangerous to German politicians as the Russian GRU and SWR?

Some years ago there was some press about how many German politicians were complaining about the state phones and would bring in and use their own shiny phones, probably this goes for laptops too. I assume this was against the wishes of IT security. Then boom, and the politicians are complaining again.

Everyone is collecting user data for targeting and segmentation in marketing. Not sure Tim Cook knows everything that is going on at Apple. I've worked directly with several CEOs of larger companies and none new everything that was going on.

It's always an opportunity to sell to someone how is desperate and has deep pockets, especially when you're currently looking for an exit. Minecraft, Wunderlist, ...

How is something 310% slower. My physics professor would have slapped me for such sloppiness in wording.
