is there an alternative source for this story like from Spiegel or something other than dw.de?

For what it's worth, DW is Germany's "International public broadcaster" so it is a reputable news source.

If you want it on SPON ("blood, tits and murica"), here you go: http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/e-mail-passwoerte...
