Why would the EU do this its a massive overreach and I say this as a remainer.
- karl_schlagenfu 7y agoBecause in this case it's a European company being hacked (Ericsson).
- Angostura 7y agoIt's a Swedish company.
- karl_schlagenfu 7y agoSweden is in the European Union.
- Angostura 7y agoSure, but the bodies that would attempt to push back against this form of attack sit within the nation-state, not the EU.
- pjc50 7y agoThe EU doesn't really have a military capability of its own, let alone a "cyberwarfare" one. There's no "overreach" going on.
- cs02rm0 7y agoNot all offensive cyber is military, although there's certainly ambition within the EU there. That aside, the EU didn't have a Cybersecurity Agency with legal powers to prevent and respond to cyber threats yesterday. Coincidentally, it does today. Baby steps I'm sure and with the imminent potential withdrawal of a 5 eyes member it isn't unsurprising. So this picture looks to be changing in the future. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-8-2019-0151_EN.html?redirect#BKMD-20 https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-8-2019-0151...
