Summary

Private data of top Trump officials, including phone numbers, emails, and, in some cases, passwords of Mike Waltz, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard, were found online after a Signal chat scandal involving airstrike planning on Yemen.

Der Spiegel reports that some password details were obtained via hacked data dumps and commercial providers, posing security risks like spyware installation.

The scandal raised concerns of foreign espionage during top-secret planning discussions, further damaging the administration’s credibility.
