It's very serious stuff, it's not funny.
Someone leaves their doors unlocked it doesn't mean you should be entering.
More importantly, how on bloody earth are defence discussions happening in a situation that can so easily be defeated.
The officials themselves are to blame for blatantly terrible security protocols.

It was a six-digit pin of which 5 digits were accidentally shown in a tweet from the Dutch Defence Minister Ank Bijleveld.

#10I think they should be a lot more concerned about the people recording the meeting who don't show up on the attendee list, than of the people who show up and wave in front of the camera.
