Alleged attack on the power supply to the Tesla car factory in Grünheide near Berlin has sparked a debate about better protection of sensitive infrastructure in Germany. Tesla factory manager André Thierig said: “We hope that the security authorities in the state of Brandenburg and Germany will think about how to secure this here” The state government also announced that it wanted to strengthen protection, but also emphasized that there can be no 100% security.
“Attacks on our critical infrastructure are a form of terrorism,” said Brandenburg’s Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke.
