RUAG was hacked over a year ago an didn't notice until recently when the intelligence agency informed them. It's a huge scandal here.

you're right. An other example why it's a good idea to invest into smart people supported by good products in order to defend against such attacks. From my personal point of view, the risk of a data-breach is beeing underestimated in almost all companies. Which leads toh harsh budget restrictions for security responsibles.
