Buongiorno,

spiegato l'arcano di una delle più importanti intercettazioni della
storia recente.

Sotto trovate il testo della notizia, ma prima metto un executive
summary: il ministro Pistorious può così _frignare_ "Our communication
systems were not compromised", ma poter instaurare a una call su Cisco
WebEx [1] senza l'obbligo di usare la crittografia E2EE è una falla di
sicurezza grande come una montagna:

Known limitations

Transcoding, Automatic Closed Captioning, Transcription, PSTN, and other
cloud-based services that require the cloud to access the media are not
available at this time, as they are not supported by the Zero-Trust
Security model for End-to-End Encryption v2 (E2EEv2).

A participant joining from a Webex device must be one of the first 205
participants of any kind in the meeting, or their connection will
require transcoding. As this is not supported, they will not be admitted
to the meeting.

The maximum number of participants in an E2EEv2 meeting is 1000.

SIP video or telephone devices cannot join E2EEv2 meetings, as E2EEv2 is
not available in the SIP protocol.

(via [2])

Cioè in una conversazione E2EE *non* si può avvedere via PSTN (o SIP),
come pare abbia fatto uno dei partecipanti.

Non ho mai usaro quel servizio ma da quello che ho capito è "il
moderatore" della call su WebEx che *deve* verificare lo stato della
crittografia E2E con una semplice procedura [3]:

If you want to verify the security of the end-to-end encryption
connection, communicate the security code to all participants, either
verbally or in a message outside the Webex App. Ask all participants if
they see the same code in the meeting.

If any participants don’t see the same security code, ask them to leave
the meeting and join again, and then verify that their security code
matches the current code. The current code you see may be an updated
one. If there are any issues, contact your administrator.

Il traffico di quella conversazione era *in chiaro* su quella linea PSTN
(SIP?) di Singapore, un gioco da bambini dell'asilo intercettarla.

Berlin blames Taurus call leak on officer logging in via insecure
Singapore hotel line
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

   Germany is scrambling to clean up the damage following an embarrassing
   leak of secret information to the Russians.

   The audio of German military officers discussing top secret
   information was intercepted by Russia only because one of them logged
   in through an insecure line from a hotel room in Singapore, Defense
   Minister Boris Pistorius said Tuesday.

   Addressing the leak in Berlin following an investigation by Germany's
   Military Counterintelligence Service, Pistorius insisted the incident
   was a one-off.

   "Our communication systems were not compromised," he said.

   On Friday, Russia's state-run media outlet Russia Today released
   details of a 38-minute call between senior German officers — including
   the chief of the air force — in which they discussed the hypothetical
   dispatch of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine as part of preparations
   for a meeting with Pistorius.

   Chancellor Olaf Scholz is opposed to sending the missiles, and the
   issue has splintered his governing coalition.

   One of the participants — [reported] to be Brigadier General Frank
   Gräfe — dialed into the WebEx call from a hotel room in Singapore
   where he was visiting an airshow.

   Over the weekend, the government [confirmed] the veracity of the
   recording. Pistorius on Sunday [called it] a "hybrid disinformation
   attack" by Russia, although the recording published by Moscow was not
   faked.
