October 7 Attack: Three Years October 7 – Why Netanyahu is still in office

It has been three years since Islamist terrorists entered Israel from the Gaza Strip on the morning of October 7th. They killed around 1,200 people and kidnapped numerous hostages. It was the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust and the worst attack on Israeli territory in the country's history. The attack and the subsequent wars profoundly changed Israel. Although a ceasefire has been in effect in the Gaza Strip for almost a year, attacks continue to occur there. And despite being warned, Benjamin Netanyahu remains prime minister and will run again in the upcoming election. With what narrative does he succeed? What traces have the past three years left on Israeli society? And what role does October 7th play in everyday political life and in the election campaign? This is what Lea Frehse, foreign policy editor at ZEIT, explains.

At the end of August, unauthorized persons had access to the controls of around half a million European solar systems, including around 250,000 in Germany. Systems from the Chinese manufacturer Sungrow, which are controlled via a central cloud, were affected. A security researcher was able to work his way further into the provider's systems without a password and could have switched off hundreds of thousands of systems at the same time with just a few clicks. If several gigawatts of power are lost in one fell swoop, the power grid can become unbalanced and there can be a power outage over a large area and for longer periods of time. The security gap has now been closed. Research by ZEIT had already shown that many solar systems are poorly secured. Eva Wolfangel, editor in the digital department at ZEIT, assesses in the podcast whether Germany's power supply is adequately protected against such attacks and how such security gaps arise in the first place.

And otherwise? Make the cows fart less
