About :
Wanna Cry was just the latest wake-up call: The cyber attack with the ransomware Trojan hit hundreds of thousands of computers in over 100 countries in May 2017. But how can one piece of malware paralyze companies, hospitals and even secret services all over the world at the same time? The answer has a name: Microsoft. A film by Harald Schumann and Árpád Bondy Subscribe to wocomoDOCS: https://goo.gl/sBmGkp Find the full interviews from this film here: / haraldschumannonthetrail State and public administrations from Helsinki to Lisbon also operate with the US company's software. It makes them vulnerable to hackers and spies, violates European procurement law, blocks technological progress and is costing Europe dearly. Harald Schumann and his research team Investigate Europe spoke to insiders and those responsible across Europe about this. Martin Schallbruch, the former IT chief of the German government, reports how the states are becoming ever more dependent on Microsoft. A top lawyer from the Netherlands describes how the EU Commission and the governments are breaking European tendering law to do this. In France, the Ministry of Defense bypassed parliament when concluding secret contracts with Microsoft, which is why Senator Joelie Garriaud-Maylam now wants to set up a committee of inquiry. Hamburg's data protection commissioner Johannes Caspar warns that Microsoft systems expose citizens' private data to surveillance by the US secret services. Internal documents show that the Federal Office for Information Security shares this mistrust. Both the European Parliament and the Bundestag have therefore repeatedly called for state IT systems to be converted to open source software that can be tested by Europe's own security authorities. Italy's army has also begun this transition, says Italian General Camillo Sileo. Police authorities in France and Lithuania and the cities of Rome and Barcelona are doing the same. But why do most governments resist the alternatives, or even return to the arms of the monopolist Microsoft, as in the case of Munich? Andrup Ansip, EU Commissioner for the Digital Single Market and other players address these questions. First broadcast on ARD on February 19, 2018
