University professors of the Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU) criticize the current draft, among other things because it would be necessary to use external know-how for the technical infiltration of devices. They locate a “verb” with hackers, as they formulate it. They also see the legal protection mechanisms critically.
The federal government presented a corresponding design in April. He provides the possibility of accessing measurement services or reading messages. The measure is to be limited to cases that indicate terrorist and constitutional activities. For example, these are the preparation of terrorist attacks or the formation of terrorist groups. The use is also possible with spy.

The statement comes from Rene Mayrhofer and Michael Sonntag from the Institute for Networks and Security at the JKU as well as Alois Birklbauer from the Institute for Criminal Law. In their explanations, they initially point out that the design is completely open how monitoring software should be brought into the devices. Current smartphone operating systems, so they consider, would have detailed security mechanisms.
