"Just imagine the uproar!"

Well, quite...

It's quite extraordinary that highups in the military are using 'off the shelf' not for for purpose comms apps such as WebEx or Whatsapp. That NATO military use less security discussing military operation in Ukraine than I do talking to my mates about the latest Dune movie...

'Roderich Kiesewetter, a German opposition politician, said it was likely that a Russian intelligence agent was simply able to join the call, which Luftwaffe officers were able to connect to on their mobile phones.
