Summary
Lawmakers from both parties expressed outrage after The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief revealed he was accidentally included in a Trump administration Signal chat discussing Yemen airstrikes.
Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) and Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.) called for investigations and firings, labeling it a serious security breach.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) criticized the use of non-secure systems, warning that adversaries like Russia and China could exploit it.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) condemned the administration’s mishandling of classified information, saying it endangers national security.
I’d absolutely qualify it as non-secure in this context. Signal is E2E encrypted but there are no systems in place where it understands who’s added to a chat and validates access based on ACLs or anything. Authorization policies are critical in securing systems.
Man you’re technically correct.
The best kind of correct. Let me alter my comment and direct them to this, because I didn’t even think that far.
