This is what the editor should have sent in the signal chat after the ordeal.
I wonder what messaging service they used.
It was signal
Would this be good publicity or bad publicity for signal?
“Even government officials think we’re secure!”
Or
“Idiots actually think signal is secure for classified information”
Signal is very secure, but your encryption doesn’t matter when you add unknown people to your encrypted chats.
It’s like buying the most secure, unpickable door lock and giving the key with the address on it to a complete stranger
I would have expected the USA to have their own private network for this shit… such a meh nation nowadays
Just wanna be clear that this didn’t happen because of some technical flaw/vulnerability in Signal. This was completely Human Error
Signal also features auto-delete for messages. They chose not to communicate through secure channels, and are actively trying to keep their shit out of the permanent record. These fucks are actively evading paper trails and transcripts because they know full-well how indefensible their crimes are.
I’m out of the loop. What happened?
USA government officials accidentally added a journalist into a private Signal group chat which they used to discuss war plans.
Also the NSA called signal a security risk just one month ago saying it could be easily hacked. this could got Service members killed.
In normal times, Pete would have resigned for a mistake like this. Today? MAGA cracks a beer for him.
