German defense chat overheard by Russian eavesdroppers on Cisco's WebEx

A 38-minute WebEx call between high-ranking German military officials was leaked and published by Russian state media; German authorities have confirmed the recording's legitimacy and are investigating how the call was intercepted, with suspicion of Russian intelligence access or a compromise of the WebEx implementation. The leak has political and operational implications, was framed by Russian actors to influence policy discussions (notably around Taurus missile deliveries), and is being treated as a hybrid information operation.
