I don't think I've ever seen someone this committed to a messenger app like this guy, I think they should send him a T-shirt or something

Probably at n/c by some friendly guys with eastern euro accents 😎

It was probably a cabal of journalists and disgruntled Pentagon employees that snuck the unsecured line into Kegbreath's office.

Military genius

jeffm2018.bsky.social•55 days ago

And probably no way of knowing what was sent?

scassian.bsky.social•55 days ago

So every competent intelligence service in the world who wants to has been reading all his Signal messages, and probably emails, as soon as they are sent.
Good to know.
Good to know.

Only if the endpoints are compromised, signal itself has very good security.

But…

Nvm

they believe they are superior, delusional

blue-eyedsamurai01.bsky.social•55 days ago

Infinite incompetence.

mdit.bsky.social•55 days ago

Because of course he did.

He needs a direct line to HQ (and I don't mean the white house) without all those compliance issues raised by infosec regulations.

Such arrogance and entitlement.
Really does drag the notion of “American” through the sewage works

Stealing this!

He won’t be held accountable until military personnel die as a result of his top secret boasting fetish.

tenebien.bsky.social•55 days ago

He went out of his way to do it. For all we know, they all use it, because Project 2025 tells them so. The only difference is the others are probably sober while using it...

carolineomeara.bsky.social•55 days ago

Who agreed to set this up inside the Pentagon. One of many (so many) questions I have.

fatgeordie.bsky.social•55 days ago

Same. I have the feeling (or hope) that it would not happen in a well-run country/organisation. The techs would have the power just to say no.

darkwinganka.bsky.social•55 days ago

Probably the third guy that he asked, after the first two had been fired on the spot.

It's a great successful lies

It was obvious that Hegseth was unqualified and incompetent, to say the least. Trump and the Republicans who voted for him knowingly endangered the country's national security.
