Thanks for posting Olaf Classen. Has Mercedes-Benz lost some of its source code, as it appears that an authentication token was stored in a Public GitHub repository for a few months?

Hypothetically, while it may not be the case for Mercedes-Benz, would an incident like this be considered material for a reasonable investor? A token leads to the companies IP being compromised. In the case of source code, both the foundation of a vehicle operating system, that could possibly contain other important in vehicle communication keys, external communication keys. On top of giving the hacking community code to explore other vulnerabilities.

Would a reasonable investor care? As public firms must now consider if they want listing on U.S capital markets.
