Bruno Kramm, the chairman of the Berlin branch of the Pirate Party, said that a lot of vulnerabilities lie in the backdoors built into many, especially outdated, operating systems, and that we must rethink our approach to cybersecurity.

“We should much more work with open-source software, with Linux systems which are open-source, and we have to use encryption, and we have to take more security measures for the more dangerous infrastructure, for example hospitals.” he told RT.

Kramm also believes that the leaked NSA tools helped facilitate the attack.

“But the sad thing is the more we find out [about] the NSA having this software, the more we also know that this software is also of course traded. There is no software which you can keep inside of the system. From the moment the NSA works with the software, you can also get the software, and once you get the software you can use it in your own way. So basically it’s really a problem they have started.”
