Details: As noted, due to a problem in the Webex video conferencing system, thousands of Bundeswehr video meetings ended up in the public domain on the Internet. The security breach occurred in the Bundeswehr’s own version of Webex, which is more secure than the public version.

According to the publication, more than six thousand meetings were found on the Internet, some of which were supposed to be classified.

The German military said the bug was fixed within 24 hours of becoming aware of it.

Zeit Online has found online meeting rooms used by 248,000 German soldiers.

Journalists were able to find Air Force Chief Ingo Gerharz’s online meeting room.

Zeit Online reports that the military only became aware of the security flaws after being contacted for comment.

Let us remind you: In early March, the Russian Federation released an audio recording of a conversation between Bundeswehr officials, in which the possibility of using German long-range Taurus missiles to attack the Kerch Bridge was discussed.

German Ministry of Defense check started on the subject of intercepted conversations between representatives of the air force – who, according to Rospropaganda, discussed blowing up the Kerch bridge with Taurus missiles.

After that, the Ministry of Defense confirmed that the talks had been stopped. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius commented on the scandal, noting that this is a hybrid disinformation attack.

Pistorius also said that the conversation between Bundeswehr officers was intercepted after one of the participants log in through an unsecured line from a hotel room in Singapore.

All the details of the scandal with the Russian leak of a conversation between German generals – in the article “EP”.
