While #Signal is perfectly fine for private conversations between non PEP (political exposed), or even private conversations between these, it is not OK when used for national security matters..

PEPs are typically high profile surveillance targets, blackmailing. Just loosing a phone can be disastrous if it is not remotely wiped immediately.

Hegseth shows disrespect for the lives of servicemen/women.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat."
