summary
A municipality recounts a 19 June 2019 attack that leaves systems encrypted and backups compromised after being 9 months undetected, forcing a full IT rebuild and showing that many cities would take months, not days, to recover. The panel argues for digital parachutes, portability and sovereign stacks like the Sovereign Cloud Stack as operational answers, warns that fragmentation raises macroeconomic costs, and notes school use cases (Nextcloud, Jitsi) and shutdowns that pushed workloads to hyperscalers.
