In Germany we have the completely wrong mindset for such things. Instead of being grateful, all we care about is "whose fault is it" and CYA tactics. And no one wants to be "guilty" or have their incompetence revealed, so suits will do anything they can to avoid that. Somethings serious needs to go wrong first, so that loss of face already happens, before anyone will move. Maybe we need to get hacked by Russia a few more times.
How is the home of chaos computer club so bad at this....
It is only this degree of malice and incompetence that can give rise to something like the CCC.
Yeah it does feel like much tech competence that sprouts in Germany is either sequestered off and penned in, and/or leaves the country.
You still have quite enough people in high places who are direct or indirect beneficiaries of companies that are either Russian or tied to Russia, so nothing will ever happen even then.
