Summary
DER SPIEGEL reporters uncovered private contact details and passwords of senior U.S. security officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, through public data leaks and commercial search engines.
The leaks revealed active phone numbers linked to Signal, WhatsApp, and social media accounts, raising severe security concerns.
This follows an recent exposed Signal chat discussed military plans against Yemen’s Houthi militia.
Security experts warned of phishing, spyware, and deepfake risks from the leaks.

To do so, the reporters used commercial people search engines along with hacked customer data that has been published on the web. Those affected by the leaks include National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
I mean, I know trump is beyond illegal in most ways but a standard security check would have revealed this.
Everyday I open lemmy and see a new article about the US government leaders, I’m like “No way, that tittle is misleading” and the article is exactly what the tittle says. It would be pure comedy if it didn’t affect so many people.
The thing is, this is how it was in 2016-2020. It was batshit insanity every day, all day. It was so exhausting and incomprehensible.
And . . . here we are again. Why.
