Cyberwars
Location: Germany / Estonia
We are in the middle of a worldwide cyber war that started in 2007. Ground Zero is the tiny Baltic state of Estonia. Here, the game of war changed overnight, when Estonia’s entire banking system was attacked online, suspending cash flows and causing panic. This documentary looks at the stage where the first cyber war in history was set and meets the people who were in charge at the time: from the Estonian government, former spies and major IT experts working for global leading telecommunication enterprises. What does this cyber-attack mean for the future? The show also investigates what this means for individuals. You may think you are safe, but a quick experiment shows how easy it is for a person’s digital identity to be hacked and used for nefarious purposes.
