This sentence is the punchline. I'm guessing they mean they were able to image the disks and capture memory while they were running unencrypted?
- wongarsu 7y agoI imagine the physical protections were not trivial to overcome either. In Germany you don't have to assist police as long as you don't actively obstruct them. If they come with a warrant you can't shut the door in their face, but you are not forced to open a closed door either. Normally not a big deal, after a few knocks the police breaks open the door. The government selling off bunkers with doors designed to withstand nuclear explosions throws a bit of a wrench in that concept.
