Leaders from Germanys Social Democratic Party urged Interior Minister Horst Seehofer to act after a massive data hack<\/a> exposed sensitive information on hundreds of politicians, journalists, comedians and activists, including Chancellor Angela Merkel.<\/p>\n

Germans must be informed about \u201cwhich authority knew what, when, and what the reactions were,\u201d the SPD secretary-general Lars Klingbeil told local newspapers<\/a> Sunday.<\/p>\n

The SPD criticisms extended to Germanys Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), but are politically notable because the SPD is part of the coalition government made up of Seehofers Christian Social Union and their ally the Christian Democratic Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis should be a priority for Horst Seehofer, its about protecting our democracy,\u201d Klingbeil said.<\/p>\n

Thomas Oppermann, vice president of the Bundestag and a fellow SPD member, backed the SPD secretary-general.<\/p>\n

The Federal Office for Information Security \u201cmust be the central cyber-defense center in Germany and Interior Minister Seehofer must realize that this is one of the most important tasks in internal security and will remain in the coming years,\u201d Oppermann told Bild am Sonntag.<\/a><\/p>\n

Seehofer, in response, pledged to ensure full transparency on the hack, telling the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung<\/a> that \u201cthe public will learn everything I know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hackers used a Twitter account to leak private emails, Facebook messages, cell phone numbers and photographs over a four-week period starting in early December.<\/p>\n

Data exposed included information about members of the national parliament, regional state parliaments, the European Parliament and local officials.<\/p>\n

Reports <\/a>emerged<\/a> over the weekend that the Federal Office for Information Security, the countrys national cybersecurity agency, had known about part of the hack as early as December, but did not inform officials or the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning of December 2018, it was not foreseeable that there were more cases. A correlation of the individual cases mentioned above could only be determined after the fact by analyzing the entirety of the currently published data sets,\u201d the cybersecurity agency wrote in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
