Even if this seemed believable, seems like a good reason to not conduct this business on Signal on your unsecured phone

I remember an old colleague constructing a job interview test that was literally just "can the applicant correctly read a 24hr clock" after bad experiences with previous people in the post. Thinking maybe these cabinet appointees need to be put through a similar wringer.

He also thinks that's how sex works.

twostrikenoise.bsky.social•54 days ago

But it showed his real name AND number! Nobody else's was "sucked in" to the reporters contact info

gruelly.bsky.social•54 days ago

Which reading is better?
1. The NSA doesn't know how contacts on a phone works, something that has been pretty constant for more than 25 years.
or
2. He honestly thinks people would buy this explanation?

Last week, a group I was part of was dealing with a sensitive personal matter about a former member. First ? Is this email group limited to the people who need to make this decision? None of us went to IVY League schools but we managed.

Sorry, federal based scholarships were the fifth thing cut by DOGE

i always assumed that stuff like this was handled a) not on cell phones, or b) on special secure government cell phones. it turns out there was a secret third option where a guy no more tech literate than my dad can make a mistake that leaks sensitive military information to an opposition journalist

Me thinks waltz protests too much! The longer the explanation-the phonier it sounds! This is not about Democrats and Republicans. This is above all politics! This is our National Security at risk!

barb-t.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thank you for reposting. Sending classified information over unsecured phones without verifying who is actually in on the call! One in Moscow during the call! One The Atlantic editor! Scares the bejesus outta me! Our National Security at risk!

In the meantime you should be issued a bubble gum phone

A scholarship to telephone college? Don't you mean, a trip to TELEZONIA??

With what we know about how insecure our phones are actually, you'd think they'd follow the common sense rule and not use them for national security at all. I remember when President Obama was first in office. They took away his Blackberry and forbid the use of a lot of what we take for granted now.

langdongrant.bsky.social•54 days ago

Waltz really scrambling here to obscure the fact that he had Goldberg in his Signal contacts, which suggests that Waltz has been a confidential source for Goldberg in the past.

I had to add an important contact to my phone the other day and I checked that the info was correct THREE TIMES.

It’s called hacking. Walz was hacked and they don’t want to admit it bc it’s worse than not being able to use the telephone.

ughjeez.bsky.social•54 days ago

bold stance, Jon, but it really calls for consideration

These guys are only the best, aren't they? And, Tulsi Gabbard has the cajones to lie to Congress say there was no classified material. It's out there for everyone to see.

It gets sucked in? We are not talking about the women in this cabinet and how they got their positions. We are asking about phones, you know like the ones the 2nd graders use and understand.
