Hegseth had unsecured internet line in Pentagon for Signal, sources say

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer. That's according to two people familiar with the line who spoke to The Associated Press. Known as a “dirty" internet line by the IT industry, it connects directly to the public internet, where the user’s information and the websites accessed don't have the same security filters or protocols that the Pentagon’s secured connections maintain. The chief Pentagon spokesman said Hegseth "has never used and does not currently use Signal on his government computer.”

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately

U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A CDC official sent a memo to senior leaders at the agency on Sunday night telling them that all agency staff who work with the WHO must immediately stop their collaborations and “await further guidance.” The Associated Press viewed the memo. Experts say the sudden stoppage is a surprise and will set back work on investigating and trying to stop outbreaks of Marburg virus and mpox in Africa.
