Very serious vulnerability. These systems likely haven’t been revised since the 80s or 90s.

The messages might be working right now, but the security (and, therefore, the stability and longevity) is broken.

I imagine the German response here is to be annoyed that they’ve worked very hard to be able to do this without telefax, indeed without paper at all, and it’s still not considered good enough by the peanut gallery.
