    In Germany, practicing cyber security makes you a criminal. They have very weird laws there that criminalize reporting vulnerabilities (you must be a hacker looking for a vuln if you found it!) and people have been tried and convicted for white hatting.

    The beatings will continue until logic improves.

      I’m in Germany and while ordinary people are ok those in leadership and management positions are dumb af.

      Those with knowledge are kept as ordinary workers while those that can’t even do simple maths are put in offices, so if you want logic don’t look for it in Germany.
