German politicians targeted in mass data attack
While the hackers are clearly malevolent in their intentions I can't help but think of the one only surefire way to prevent this sort of meddling is radical transparency requirements among political canidates. They will wield immense power so asking them to be openly monitored would be justifiable at levels above  even the judicial system so long as it was applied uniformly.<p>It would indeed be awkward and something politicians everywhere would be reluctant to implement but it would work and respect human rights which is more than can be said about many measures in intelligence.
