| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Lovely. [Regnum] The German Ministry of Defense published a comment by the head of the department, Boris Pistorius, about the interception of a conversation between German officers and protected it with the password “1234,” the Bild newspaper reported on March 4. According to the publication, a link was published on the ministry’s website where you can read the minister’s statement. Under the link they immediately wrote a basic password necessary to receive the data. “A week ago this would have been a tired joke. After the attack of Russian spies on the Bundeswehr, this is extremely awkward,” the newspaper commented on the precautionary measures taken by the military department. The publication noted that it is still unknown how the recording of a conversation between high-ranking German officers ended up in Russia. Journalists called it a disgrace for the Bundeswehr and Germany as a whole. As Regnum reported, on March 1, RT TV channel editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan published an audio recording of a conversation in which German army officers discussed a possible attack on the Crimean Bridge with Taurus missiles. At the same time, they were looking for a way not to expose Germany as a party to the conflict. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that this conversation indicates that Germany is preparing for war with Russia. In his opinion, all other attempts to explain the discussion of plans to attack the Crimean Bridge are lies. The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned German Ambassador Alexander Lambsdorff and announced a demarche to him in connection with the revealed information that Bundeswehr officers were looking for opportunities to strike the Crimean Bridge. Moscow also demanded an explanation from Berlin on this matter. |

| #1 Actually this is not awkward at all. All files on this system need to be protected by a password by default. Since this file was meant to be public, the non-password 1234 was used and published. Would have made no sense to use something more complicated like... fuGRU. |
