Why HN links it

What Hacker News says?
Here is an English source I could find: https://digit.site36.net/2022/01/22/tracking-corona-infectio... There are two prominent apps in Germany. The other one is indeed secure against such attempts because it is technically not possible to get the information. I wouldn't even accuse the investigators here, it just shows that if there is a possibility for tracking, that it will be used. For better or worse reasons.
