Summary
The Pentagon warned employees against using the encrypted messaging app Signal due to a potential vulnerability exploited by Russian hackers.
The warning came just before a security breach where top Trump administration officials, including the vice president and defense secretary, accidentally added a journalist to a Signal group chat discussing military strikes in Yemen.
The leak sparked outrage and criticism, though Trump downplayed it as a “glitch.”
Signal stated it was unaware of any unaddressed vulnerabilities.
lol why would Russia need a software exploit to get info from the pentagon?
People running the government
I wonder if the IT person that had to brief them on why they shouldn’t use Signal, is laughing or facepalming right now.
Why would they warn about it when Gabbard says that it is pre-installed on federal cell phones? Is their Director of Cyber not qualified? Do they need to get Barron Trump in there?
