Summary
The Pentagon warned employees against using the encrypted messaging app Signal due to a potential vulnerability exploited by Russian hackers.
The warning came just before a security breach where top Trump administration officials, including the vice president and defense secretary, accidentally added a journalist to a Signal group chat discussing military strikes in Yemen.
The leak sparked outrage and criticism, though Trump downplayed it as a “glitch.”
Signal stated it was unaware of any unaddressed vulnerabilities.
I mean, there are potential ways for Signal to minimize the ability for phishing but that would impede on functions which may be more valuable to users than shrinking the risk of phishing by 10%.
