“I will guarantee you, 99.99 percent with confidence, Russia and China are monitoring those two phones,” Bacon told CNN’s Manu Raju. “So I just think it’s a security violation, and there’s no doubt that Russia and China saw this stuff within hours of the actual attacks on Yemen or the Houthis.”

This “article” provides zero evidence of the assertion, and just assumes China and Russia own these phones with an on-device compromise? Signal is encrypted, unlike the SMS infrastructure which has been fully owned by China for years. The only known way to compromise it is on a device itself, not by “monitoring” these devices (watching SMS traffic). Or, this pundit knows about secret Signal hacks the rest of the world doesn’t…

Signal doesn’t bridge to SMS any more, so I fail to see how these messages would be intercepted unless these people are walking around with compromised phones. Yes, it’d only take one person in this group to compromise the whole thing, but making this assertion without any explainer is just clickbait.

So if she complied and her kid died, that’s negligent manslaughter, right? I wonder if she’d sue the flight crew, or the airline.
