Hackerangriffe auf Bahnunternehmen vermutet
Moskau stehe im Verdacht, seit dem Angriff auf die Ukraine im Februar 2022 "Tausende Versuche, unsere Systeme zu schwächen", unternommen zu haben, sagte der tschechische Verkehrsminister der "Financial Times". Dabei gehe es etwa um Angriffe auf Signalsysteme und die Netzwerke der tschechischen Eisenbahngesellschaft České dršhy.

[Libération] - #Cinéma : #DominiqueBoutonnat, le patron du #CNC, jugé en juin pour #AgressionSexuelle
Der frühere Chef der europäischen Grenzschutzagentur Frontex, Fabrice Leggeri, kandidiert für das EU-Parlament – auf der Liste des rechtspopulistischen Rassemblement National.
Leggeri trat 2022 als Frontex-Chef zurück, weil die EU-Antikorruptionsbehörde Olaf gegen ihn ermittelte. Er soll Pushbacks vertuscht haben und sich "aktiv geweigert" haben, 40 gesetzlich vorgesehene Grundrechtsagenten einzustellen.
Bald sehen wir den umstrittenen Ex-Grenzschützer ganz offen als Anti-Migrations-Politiker im Parlament.
