[CyberSecurity] Trump Team Accidentally Includes Magazine Editor in War Plans Chat

Not just hilarious, but scary incompetence on a global threat level...

 

Fist Pound, 'Murica, Fire.

 

Bring back DEI hires asap

These guys stink

 

Oh my. That ungrateful toad never said thank you ONCE in the response by the spokesman.

William Martin, a spokesperson for Vance, said that despite the impression created by the texts, the vice president is fully aligned with the president. “The Vice President’s first priority is always making sure that the President’s advisers are adequately briefing him on the substance of their internal deliberations,” he said. “Vice President Vance unequivocally supports this administration’s foreign policy. The President and the Vice President have had subsequent conversations about this matter and are in complete agreement.”

Guess JD's sleepin on the couch. Maybe he can berate some upcoming head of state in order to stay in Donny's good graces.

 

War is planned over group chat now?

 

Maybe Trump was just being "sarcastic" ... you know ... to make the liberals cry.

 

this is honestly hilarious

the incompetence of these buffoons is astounding

How easy would it be for a foreign adversary to compromise these morons personal phones?

this is why u don’t put alcoholics like Hegseth and the rest of the dumbasses in charge of anything

 

Ah, I don't think Signal is an approved channel for official government communication, and absolutely not one that includes details of military operations and materials that are clearly classified. It also bypasses record-keeping, which I believe is required by law.

WHY: The CCP could have been listening to all of these communications over whatever "consumer" (I assume) devices running the Signal app (I doubt you can even install Signal on a government device for secure and sensitive communication).

This is wholly reckless and unbelievable.

 

@Space Ghost @tinman @Salvy

Yall support the biggest loser

 

Okay, but what about Hillary???

 

Thank you for your deep and thoughtful contribution to this topic.

 

This is the sort of thing that would have, at one time, been a trigger for massive investigations, possible impeachment hearings, and just a response worthy of the kind of massive security breach that it is. The current GOP likely left that kind of professionalism behind a long time ago, while their president hawks his cryptocoin on his social media platform and shills for cars on the white house lawn.

So....at least they didn't use Facebook messenger, I guess?

 

I'm so confused
I don't even know what is scarier
1. they did this by accident
or
2. They did it on purpose to get it out there or something

Rocket River

 

This the type of response you have, shameful. Cant even own up to how mad this looks so you post stupid jokes from X.

 

These dumbasses are all a threat to our National Security. They are stupid and reckless, and doing stuff of this nature in a chat app is inexcusable. Circumventing the laws on top of it all, to hide their plans from official records is corrupt as hell.

The Legal and Security Implications

This incident raises significant concerns about the security practices of senior U.S. officials. National security lawyers pointed out that discussions of active military operations should only occur on classified communication systems, not on apps like Signal, which are not approved for sharing classified information. Even though Signal is encrypted, it doesn't meet the security standards required for sensitive government discussions.

There is also the matter of the Espionage Act and the Federal Records Act. The use of Signal to coordinate military action potentially violated both. Senior officials should not use unsecured apps for official business, as it risks leaking national security information. What's more, by setting messages to disappear after a certain period, the officials also circumvented federal records laws, which mandate the preservation of government communications.
