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.

    Eh, I think that in the context handling classified information, it’s fair to say Signal is “insecure”, purely because anyone with a phone number can have an account, and can be accidentally added to sensitive conversations.

    You know, like the exact thing that happened in this article.

    Not that that’s Signal’s fault. But the fact that it’s even possible makes Singnal unusable for handling classified information.

      Fair, but that is not what the comment I am replying to is saying. They are saying Signal is compromised for being based in the US.
