If you want to work for the government or authorities, you have to undergo a regular security check. In the future, what applicants and employees write privately on the Internet should also play a role.

The Office for the Protection of the Constitution has many tasks. He should not only monitor extremists, but also help companies to protect themselves from espionage, for example. That is why the Federal Office regularly publishes guidelines on its website. For example, it was early December the topic: “Threat from insiders”, i.e. from insiders who reveal secrets. Less than three weeks later, this threat became a major issue for the German security authorities themselves. Investigators arrested Carsten L., who worked for the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) – and is said to have betrayed secrets to Russia.
