Süddeutsche Zeitung·DE·about 19 hours ago
Investigations by WDR and SZ reveal that sensitive personal data of a BND vice-chief, including phone numbers, has been publicly accessible online for years. The breach reportedly extends to several European intelligence chiefs, indicating a systemic data-exposure issue rather than an isolated incident. The scope and source of the leak remain unconfirmed, but the compromise of senior intelligence officials' data poses significant operational security risks.
