The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

    The messaging was encrypted, they where using Signal. The dumb fuck just “accidentally” added the reporter to the group chat 😆

        That’s so true. And to be clear I wasn’t trying to suggest that they should have been doing that. Like the messaging and the bombing. Both bad

      I wonder if it was deliberate. Trump will surround himself with people like him, so they must constantly be knifing each other in the back

        Why do you say it isn’t secure? I’m not saying it should be used for what they where doing. I was just saying, it is encrypted

          It was hacked in 2022 and 1900 accounts and their messages were leaked.

          If your serious about security you need to use anon messages.

          Signal ok for local drug dealers but for international war games I’d like something better then a app on the app store.
