In gee-that’s-terrifying news, as much as one fifth of the German population is at risk after a massive email hack that targeted .de addresses.
Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security announced that passwords and “other details” of 16 million email users had been breached by hackers. With a population of around 80 million, that means that 20% of Germany’s population could be affected by the hack – and that would be assuming everyone in the country had a .de email address. The percentage of German email users affected is likely even greater.
