The BBC quotes a recent computer science PhD graduate at TU-Berlin, apparently with no work or operations experience, on how spies may have intercepted a German military call.

Eyebrows were raised when it emerged the call happened on the widely-used WebEx platform – but Berlin has insisted the officials used an especially secure, certified version. […] A researcher in cryptography in Berlin, Henning Seidler, believes the most likely theory is that the officer dialled in via his mobile phone and the call was picked up by spies’ antenna who can also “forward” the traffic onto the main, official antenna.

Dial-in is an assertion that is easily tested and proven.

BZ-Berlin has posted a report called “Todesfalle Tesla!” on a German court case, regarding a 2022 Tesla crash that trapped and killed two young women. (Translation by me)

Hersteller Tesla saß unsichtbar mit auf der Anklagebank. Denn nach dem Aufprall hatte die automatische Türentriegelung versagt, stellte der Gutachter fest. Folge: Die hinteren Türen ließen von innen und außen nicht öffnen. Laura und Noel (beide 18) verbrannten vor den Augen der Ersthelfer bewusstlos auf der Rücksitzbank.

In the dock, the awful shadow of a car manufacturer loomed large. The expert’s verdict was damning: Tesla’s automatic door unlocking system failed in the crash. The result? The rear doors were incapable of being opened either from inside or out in the crucial moments after the crash. Laura and Noel, both aged 18, were alive yet tragically were trapped and burned to death as first responders could only watch in horror.

The judge ruled two counts of negligent homicide and bodily harm. And the guilty Tesla owner has to pay the costs of the four lawyers for the victims and survivors.

This echoes the Oregon Tesla tragedy. After a day and night of corporate sponsored drinking, a new lawsuit says a Tesla owner was “barely conscious” when he nearly killed a man by accelerating into him from behind.

“After drinking all night,” the lawsuit claimed, “Caba stumbled from the bars in the early morning of June 3, 2023, and attempted to drive home. His blood alcohol was over twice the legal limit, and he was so drunk he was barely conscious.”

[…]

While driving erratically southbound on State Route 85, Caba sped up behind Cooper, a Santa Clara County resident driving home from work, at about 100 mph, “approaching Mr. Cooper’s car as if it were standing still,” the lawsuit alleged.

Caba’s Tesla alerted him to the presence of Cooper’s vehicle, “but due to (Caba’s) level of intoxication and excessive speed, (he) ignored the warning signs and plowed right into the rear of Mr. Cooper’s vehicle,” the lawsuit claimed. “The forceful collision nearly killed Mr. Cooper and resulted in numerous forceful impacts along with catastrophic and lifelong injuries.”
