Signalgate: Modified Signal App Used by Former National Security Advisor Was Hacked

The security failure goes far beyond the Pentagon.

Gizmodo

The #WhiteHouse last week described reports it was searching for a replacement for #Waltz as "#fakenews".

#Trump had previously backed Waltz and suggested the #Signalchat app could have been "defective" when The Atlantic's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the chat. #USPol #auspol #ClusterFuck

On #signalchat groups' power:
“If you weren’t in the business at all, you’d think everyone was arriving at conclusions independently—and [they’re] not. It’s a small group of people who talk to each other and overlap between politics & journalism and a few industries.”
But there is no equivalent to the #intellectualcounterculture that grew up over the last 5 years on the #techright, and no figure remotely like #Andreessen, the towering, enthusiastic 53-year old."

A loose private network on Signal and WhatsApp helped usher in the new alliance between Silicon Valley and Donald Trump’s new right.

Today’s reminder that nobody from signalgate has been charged for their violations of the Espionage Act. And now, “Hegseth shared details of a US attack on Yemeni Houthi rebels last month in a second Signal chat that he created himself and included his wife, his brother and about a dozen other people.” Don’t let this go quietly. 👊🏽🇺🇸🔥
