Why is the Chaos Computer Club (Wikipedia) on this picture? Calling them bad actors with little to no technical skill ~~proves the absolute inanity of the article~~ is quite misinformed.

Edit: As stated in the answers, it was a mistake, the illustration was changed. 👍

Members of the CCC have demonstrated and publicized a number of important information security problems. The CCC frequently criticizes new legislation and products with weak information security which endanger citizen rights or the privacy of users. Notable members of the CCC regularly function as expert witnesses for the German constitutional court, organize lawsuits and campaigns, or otherwise influence the political process.

@morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de You're right that the image incorrectly illustrates the article. It was used as an associative image, not as a direct illustration.

The visual has been changed now, thank you for pointing this out!
