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.”
