Journalist hacks secret video conference of EU Defense Ministers

A journalist from the Netherlands became a participant in a secret video conference of the heads of defense ministries of the EU states. Daniel Verlaan interrupted this event and was able to communicate with politicians.

When they saw a clearly stranger on the screens, they strictly asked if he knew that he had been to a secret conference. The journalist smiled, gave his name and apologized.

He caused great discontent among Josep Borrel, the EU's high representative for foreign and security policy.

He stated that the Dutchman's act could be considered a criminal offense and advised the journalist to leave the broadcast as soon as possible until the police took up it. Verlaan did that.

Later it turned out that he was able to crack the conference, as one of its participants posted part of the PIN code on Twitter.
