It's like an entire administration full of Rudy Giulianis. He had a history of butt-dialing and accidentally leaving unfortunate (for him) voice mails on reporter's phones.

Even my work has better OPSEC on a random stupid meeting with nothing interesting. They review every attendee to make sure no one unexpected is in the chat.
You actually can't make this shit up. WTF!
It's absurd, it's some shit you'd see in the movies
According to the lengthy Hegseth text, the first detonations in Yemen would be felt two hours hence, at 1:45 p.m. eastern time. So I waited in my car in a supermarket parking lot. If this Signal chat was real, I reasoned, Houthi targets would soon be bombed. At about 1:55, I checked X and searched Yemen. Explosions were then being heard across Sanaa, the capital city.
I wonder if there's a Simpson's episode on this or even an Onion article.
It geniuely concerns me that this type of stuff doesn't warrant a meeting or encrypted messaging.
Well, see, the thing is that it 100% absolutely positively no-questions-about-it does warrant a meeting and government approved, Internet-disconnected communications methods.
The fact that Trump's entire fucking cabinet apparently disagrees is what concerns me.
Encryption doesn't uninvite randos
Come on bud this ain't reddit, if you're gonna weigh in read the article lol
The messaging was encrypted, they where using Signal. The dumb fuck just "accidentally" added the reporter to the group chat 😆
I wonder if it was deliberate. Trump will surround himself with people like him, so they must constantly be knifing each other in the back
Locks are just as effective as the people wielding the keys.
That's so true. And to be clear I wasn't trying to suggest that they should have been doing that. Like the messaging and the bombing. Both bad
Saying singal is secure is actually a wild take. JS felt like this was a in person type of job.
Why do you say it isn't secure? I'm not saying it should be used for what they where doing. I was just saying, it is encrypted
It was hacked in 2022 and 1900 accounts and their messages were leaked.
If your serious about security you need to use anon messages.
Signal ok for local drug dealers but for international war games I'd like something better then a app on the app store.
Yeah that's fair lol or like maybe plan your bombings in person 😅
The Trump administration is so close to making the greatest post of all time on the War Thunder forums
elect fucking russian idiots , be surprised about the results
Good thing they fired everyone who worked in secure communications.
