DER SPIEGEL, a prominent German news outlet known for its in-depth journalism. Based in Hamburg, DER SPIEGEL started as a weekly print magazine in 1947, founded by Rudolf Augstein, and has since grown into one of Germany’s leading media brands.
It has a reputation for good, in-depth investigative reporting.
The magazine’s print circulation was around 724,000 copies weekly in 2022, making it one of Europe’s largest news magazines, though it has declined from its peak of over a million in the 1990s. Online, DER SPIEGEL runs spiegel.de, which evolved from Spiegel Online (launched in 1994) and merged editorially with the magazine in 2019.
Historically, DER SPIEGEL has been a big deal in German media—think of it as a watchdog that’s broken major scandals, like the 1962 Spiegel Affair, where it clashed with the government over defense leaks, cementing its free-press cred. It’s politically independent, often leaning critical of power structures, which you also see in its X posts tackling everything from German policy to global crises.
But it’s not flawless—there was a 2018 scandal with a reporter, Claas Relotius, faking stories, which dented its trust a bit.
According to GROK, “On X, @derspiegel’s tone is sharp and factual, often highlighting its scoops—like a March 2025 post about Germany seizing a Russian oil tanker to tweak Moscow’s nose despite sanctions. It’s a mix of serious reporting and occasional hot topics meant to spark discussion, all tied to its brand as a heavy hitter in German journalism. Posts found on X also show some users praising its depth, while others call it out for bias or past missteps, reflecting a polarized audience.”
According to an investigation by George News, DER SPIEGEL’s main website seems unsafe for its many thousands of readers.
Anyone who has made ANY type of interaction with its website, derspiegel.de, it at major risk of having their personally identifiable information (PII) used by bad actors.
As we did with The Atlantic, using rudimentary OSINT tools, we were able to confirm, that tens of thousands of private email addresses and passwords are viewable to the general public.
We were able to view thousands of staff email address handles, as well as records of DER SPIEGEL readers, that involved; registration, purchases, lost password resets, and new password requests.
As one of Germany’s largest online publications, this is a national embarrassment.
Just days ago in fact, DER SPIEGEL ran a “hit piece” on Trump cabinet staff, regarding personal information they were able to obtain via very old data breaches.
We will be contacting German authorities and government officials with the information we have found, as the German people deserve answers.

I find it notable that the Left/MSM seem very uninterested in Marine Le Pen being jailed and barred from office, as a top contender for France’s 2027 presidential election.
Meanwhile, the same Left/MSM had wall-to-wall 24/7 coverage about Navalny, and cried that Putin was a dictator. They worshiped Navalny for weeks, had a public NATO meeting already organized with his wife and made the entire thing into a massive spectacle, despite Navalny polling at less than 2%, and getting caught working with NATO intelligence assets…
If the Left/MSM actually cared about Democracy, they would be up in arms about Le Pen, but they are not. They only care about “Democracy” when it benefits them. It’s all theater. They are willing to jail political opposition when it’s in their favor.
This narrative that NATO are righteous defenders of democracy is an outright lie. France just proved it again today.
How can NATO claim Putin is a dictator that must be stopped, when NATO countries do far worse?
“Democracy” is an illusion.

Trump authorizes 90 day pause on reciprocal tariffs, for a flat 10% tariff rate across the board, because so many nations have come to the table asking for a deal!
With the exception of China, for which the tariffs have been increased to 125%.
Trump is going to give every nation around the world 90 days to make a new trade deal, under the threat of tariffs being turned back on, and he just proved he is NOT bluffing and WILL do it.
Trump just proved to the world he holds all the cards, and the days of taking advantage of the US consumer/taxpayer are now over.
