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

You have to understand, this modern internet thing is an undiscovered country to our society.

I've been told it's not at all like a dump truck but more like a series of tubes.

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
