Yikes....why am I not suprised
TIL that the US military texts around sensitive plans, reporter aside, SMS is not a secure protocol to do this.

Didn't they try to charge Hilary Clinton for using an insecure private server?
Didn’t they tank her presidential bid on this? How she was unprofessional and unfit for office for this? And his Perfect Ukraine Call, his hacked emails, his every other lapse of OPSEC or security clearance issues… weren’t disqualifying? Or was it just what she had in her pants, same with Kamala.
Yeah I don't think it's a fair comparison. A private email server vs dming randos by accident.

Fascists are surprisingly bad at war.
They're bad at lots of things. Stupidity is a highly transferable skill.

Just a reminder that they chose to use Signal for a reason, and those are also reasons we normal citizens should use Signal too! At least try and talk your closest relatives into dumping WhatsApp for it.
Yeah, this article was truly a fascinating read! The one thing that surprised me from Goldberg though, was that he continually questioned their use of signal. I mean, why wouldn't they use it?
They could try to develop their own secure messaging app, but what would be the point of that when another already exists and they can verify the code is air tight because it's open source. And, developing their own app would mean the possibility of relying on software that could contain unknown bugs or vulnerabilities.
The only safe cryptographic systems are open source ones.

Are we missing an /s here? Signal is headquartered in the US, and here's me pondering if they were actually using Telegram instead. Which would've been pretty apt.
I think at this point I'd be better off trying to use WeChat.....

For a bit of clarity some are not seeing. Google, sanctioned too. Crazy times.
