From the article:

A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.

Public wifi without a VPN is like sex without a condom. The connection may not be encrypted (very risky) and even if it is, you are still susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks: https://www.garlandtechnology.com/blog/how-to-monitor-encrypted-traffic-and-keep-your-network-secure

I guarantee there will be a flood of articles about this over the next few days because of what I quoted above.

It's also possible that one of his "friends" reported him or something like that.

Great game. One of my 100%'ers and I was actually sad when it was done.

I have a lot of issues with Lemmy and more specifically how the fediverse will work with multiple copies of communities and the knee-jerk defederation. But, in terms of stability, content and quality, I feel like it has been getting better. I'm willing to give it some more time.
