I really wonder why my lefty-hacky-tech bubble isn't talking more about #Hetzner and #Linode enabling a probably state-actor ordered, network-level machine-in-the-middle attack in their data centers in Germany. Even the german #netzpolitik bubble I follow is barely discussing it.
So I ask myself: Is it because it affected xmpp/jabber-servers with .ru domains? Is it because it is so hard to verify anything externally? Or is this just actually not that big of a deal, and probably happening far more often than I thought - 'even' in Germany/the EU?

What I missed ?Just check the BND thing at the DE-CIX it answers maybe some questions.
@tobbsn well I personally am not surprised by that. Governments tend to do things like that
