Germany moves to give spy agencies hacking and sabotage powers

Germany's cabinet has approved new legislation that would grant its intelligence agencies the power to hack into foreign systems and sabotage adversaries' supply chains. The proposed law would also allow agencies to feed false information to extremists within Germany. This overhaul would represent the most significant change to the country's spy laws since the postwar era. The new powers would expand the capabilities of Germany's intelligence agencies. The legislation aims to update the country's intelligence gathering and operations.
