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

Hmm, publishing that will really help those Crimean beach hotels get customers for this summer…
I have so many questions.
- Why did Russia leak this?
- How secure is WebEx?
- Is Cisco compromised?
- Is there a Russian kompromat in high-level German military?
- Is the hypothetical existence of kompromat related to Schultz being sometimes reluctant to offer militarily help to Ukraine?

Germany has admitted the apparent hack by Russia of a military meeting where officers discussed giving Ukraine long-range missiles - and possible targets.
Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz on Saturday called the apparent leak “a very serious matter and that is why it is now being investigated very carefully, very intensively and very quickly”.
A spokeswoman for the German defence ministry told the AFP news agency that a secret air force conversation had been tapped.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, said on Telegram: “Our age-old rivals - the Germans - have again turned into our sworn enemies.”
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday that the discussion betrayed the “cunning plans” of the German armed forces, which he said had committed “a blatant self-exposure”.
It can be assumed “that the conversation was deliberately leaked by Russia at this point in time with a specific intention”, namely “to prevent Taurus delivery by Germany”, he said.
