Hammer! Ausgerechnet das Bundesdigitalministerium zieht direkt neben das Russische Haus in Berlin. In der Taubenstraße 42/43 sind inzwischen zwei der sechs Abteilungen des Ministeriums untergebracht. Darunter das Referat „Sicherheit und Resilienz öffentlicher Telekommunikationsnetze“. Nach Angaben des Ministeriums waren die Sicherheitsbehörden bei der Standortwahl von Anfang an eingebunden. Alle empfohlenen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen würden umgesetzt. Man kann sich solche Pointen wirklich nicht ausdenken. Einmal eine gute Entscheidung, liebe Regierung! Chapeau! Dann jetzt bitte fleißig aufklären, was bei den Nachbarn los ist – und bis zum 6. Dezember 2026, also in den nächsten 111 Tagen, das Tätigkeitsabkommen kündigen. Danach könnt ihr euch wieder auf eure eigentliche Aufgabe konzentrieren: Deutschland zu digitalisieren und müsst nicht nebenbei noch die Arbeit von BND und BfV erledigen, weil Putins Propaganda-Mannschaft den Laden dann nicht mehr weiterbetreiben kann wie bisher. Meine Follower fragen sich zurecht gerade eher, ob das nicht eine ziemlich spektakuläre Sicherheitslücke ist. Genau das frage ich jetzt das Ministerium und formuliere gerade die passende E-Mail. Mehr dazu, sobald die Antwort kommt. #Digitalisierung #Sicherheit #Regierung
