The New York Times published an article that says something about the security of networks at German universities, and at universities in general:

Printers at several universities across Germany produced anti-Semitic leaflets on or before Hitler's birthday this week, after hackers appeared to break into their computer systems, according to university officials.

Universities in Hamburg, Lüneburg and Tübingen confirmed that printers connected to their computer networks had suddenly started churning out the leaflets, most of them on Wednesday, the anniversary of Hitler's birth in Braunau, Austria, in 1889.

At least six other universities in Germany reported similar episodes, according to the German news agency DPA.

The leaflet produced at the University of Hamburg carried the slogan "Europe, awake!" and alluded to the mass migration that brought more than one million people, many from the Middle East, to the Continent last year. "Europe is being flooded by enemy strangers," it read, in part.

Without naming Hitler, the leaflet referred to "the words of a former European führer" who blamed the Jews for bringing non-Europeans to the Rhineland.

The article noted a similar breach at American universities, including one at Princeton in March.

    There are still thousands of people alive who survived the Nazi concentration camps

    ... out of the millions who failed to die in the gas chambers. Most of them emigrated to more prosperous nations where they could steal and devour what the locals had built. Others emigrated to Palestine after murdering the locals there.

    I'm not sure the entire Palestinian villages that were murdered by the chosen race share the humour either.
