The German military confirmed earlier reports of a vulnerability affecting the Webex software it uses for online meetings. In March, a leaked German military meeting was publicized by Russian media.

Germany’s military has admitted on Saturday a flaw in the video-conferencing tool it uses left thousands of its meetings publicly accessible online.

Zeit Online reported accessing German Bundeswehr meetings by using simple search terms on the military"s Webex system.

“More than 6,000 meetings could be found online,” some of which were meant to be classified, it wrote.

The military said the bug was fixed within 24 hours after being made aware.

    Maybe time to switch to a different video conferencing tool, no?
