"The computers were seized from the humanitarian (leftwing) foundation Tvind (Humana) in connection with a case about tax evasion...All 16 computers were protected with Safeguard Easy from the German encryption provider Utimaco...It is not known
how the encryption was broken, whether it was brute forced or flaws in the program was exploited.""
