The German Defense Ministry has come under scrutiny for its lax security measures following a scandal involving the wiretapping of German officers by Russia. In an attempt to secure a comment by Defense Minister Boris Pistorius regarding the incident, the ministry used the password '1234' for protection, as reported by Bild. This choice of password, widely criticized for its simplicity, was also used by the German Air Force for securing Webex meetings, raising concerns about the security protocols within the ministry. The incident comes in the wake of a major leak that revealed discussions on a potential attack on Russia's Crimean Bridge, highlighting the ministry's questionable security practices.
