Historically yes, that’s what would happen. Most recently when the invasion in Ukraine started and Russians attacked their neighbors. It doesn’t take much time of fighting and it becomes them vs us. It was always fascinating to me how this stuff can be turned on and off by a single phone call. A flip of a switch.

The problem doesn’t even seem to be the hacking but how easy it is to gain access to a chat. I didn’t look into how the editor got invited but think of how easy it is to get a random number invited to a signal group chat. It doesn’t take much social engineering to slip a number in there with this chaotic oh no wait DISRUPTIVE administration. No authentication required. Just send a mail to xXshitlord2006Xx@doge.boys with the text “Oy bro, send group invite”
