Ouch, that is damning…  There's a reason it gets called a "private" key.

Many thanks for the translation too.  Had Golem.de's site not
interfered, I might've gotten past their cookie pop-up (I hate those:
EU's privacy laws are not my problem) and read the article via a
translator (and they'd have gotten some advertising revenue).
