Summary

Lawmakers are reevaluating Signal use after Trump officials mistakenly added journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to a sensitive national security chat about a planned strike on Houthi rebels.

Some Congress members have since anonymized their profiles for security.

Signal remains widely used for sensitive communication on Capitol Hill despite phishing attempts targeting lawmakers.

Officials stress that encrypted apps like Signal are still vulnerable to human error and phishing, though Signal denies flaws in its encryption. Lawmakers urge caution, especially when traveling abroad, to minimize security risks.
