Germany's military has admitted on Saturday a flaw in the video-conferencing tool it uses left thousands of classified meetings publicly accessible online. π
The German military confirmed earlier reports of a vulnerability affecting the Webex software it uses for online meetings. In March, a leaked German military meeting was publicized by Russian media.
fucking up the settings is not a flaw in the tool lmao, this level of incompetence is surreal
"Forgot to set it to 'Private', sorry guys"
lol yeah, I guess the flaw is that it's not idiot proof?
To be fair if I were in charge of procuring anything for the army "idiot proof" is way up there on the list of requirements
the flaw was that password-protected meetings could be joined without a password when joining in a specific way https://threatpost.com/cisco-webex-flaw-lets-unauthenticated-users-join-private-online-meetings/152191/
I wonder if anyone has been backing up those meetings. Would love to have a look at them.
Damn it, Russia! You should know better! Keeping the secret that the Allies had broken Enimga was a huge intelligence coup and you just give away the game now?
German Rearmament
Garbage OPSEC21st century version of compromising encryption by signing off every message with "Heil Hitler".

I thought they switched to matrix
Remember how the first excuse was βthey were in asiaβ
Fun times ahead for the War Thunder forums.
oops! Using proprietary American Cisco software!
Add this to the heap of reasons why Germany has the Sovereign Tech Fund and is moving to open source.
Who's to say this wasn't maliciously planted by an employee acting on behalf of the US government?
