Germany has admitted the apparent hack by Russia of a military meeting where officers discussed giving Ukraine long-range missiles - and possible targets.

Audio of the video-conference meeting was posted to social media by the head of Russia’s state-run RT channel.

    According to Der Spiegel magazine, the videoconference was not held on a secret internal army network but on the WebEx platform.

      Probably hacked through a cisco vulnerability long known to western three-letter-agencies, but hoarded instead of getting fixed.

        There are some media reports claiming that there was simply another unidentified participant in the conference call and they didn’t notice. 🤷

          My first thought, happened a few times. I understand that the old dinasours don’t get it, but maybe ffs pay 1 IT kid to set up meetings securely. I can send out Teams links at work where I have to manually let in everybody, I doubt there are no options for E2E encryption, 2FA, etc. for these types of needs
