IANAL but the law in Germany is basically the same in this case, accessing data that's meant to be protected and not intended for you is is illegal. It depends somewhat on the interpretation of what "specifically protected" ("besonders gesichert") means. https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__202a.html
Exactly. My apologies for not noticing this was over in Europe, but you'll find laws similar to CFAA all over the place. And in Europe it might be worse simply because you might have 27 different such laws _and_ the European arrest warrant, and you might not know which of those 27 laws applies. (I guess you could say the same about the U.S., with 50 instead of 27, but at least for this sort of thing in the U.S. it's mainly federal law that matters the most.)
It can. The fact there is a password, even if you can trivially find said password, is considered a protection. The German law is completely absurd here.
That's not exactly right, Wero the app is not Wero the payment system. Banks and payment processors are expected to integrate Wero the same way they do with iDeal and similar systems. So ultimately if your bank's app doesn't require attestation you will be able to use Wero through it.
It's amusing that changing the altitude scale doesn't reset the "trails" -- when I dragged it around quickly (on mobile) it left vertical streaks behind all the in-flight planes
