I've been traveling so forgive me for not posting this yesterday, but: That Signal clone app for archiving messages that Mike Waltz has been using, TeleMessage? It's unlicensed. Signal was unaware of its existence until they saw it in that Reuters photo. There's no known security vetting.

Of course what’s good for Israel is good for America.
Putin is pissed that Bibi beat him to this one. No need to cultivate intelligence agents when you have access to all their comms.

Brilliant.
We know there are ways to mirror a signal conversation, so if you can get that you can probably get notifications for conversation starts and then archive.
Other theory: they really are this fucking stupid and failed upwards their entire lives.
I guess all this is one thing that historians will write about long after we've died peacefully of old age...or disease that would have been prevented but for RFK JR...or been massacred by Rubio. 🤷🏻♀️
Too bad he’ll first have to restart, then more than likely have to do system update.
— Mike Waltz, probably.

every last one of them
Second level is using signal requires a smartphone or PC, neither of which are secured
If it's true that he did that, it's so incredibly STUPID!
It is fine for most people's needs, definitely not sufficiently secure for National Defense Information.
Alice sends a message to Bob by encrypting it under Bob's public key. Confidentiality of the message is ensured provided that
1) The encryption algorithm is secure
2) Alice really did encrypt under Bob's key.
Ten years ago, that was entirely acceptable for consumer security because the alternatives are worse.
* Change their service provider any time they choose without switching costs.
* Communicate with any user regardless of their service provider.
* Control their own private keys.
* Control the public keys they rely on.
The idea is you dump ALL your communications addresses and the public keys corresponding to your private keys into a JSContact object.
Not just OpenPGP, S/MIME but SSH, Git, Code signing, etc. etc.
It all depends on what they are going to use the comms for. The GOP attacks on HRC were ignorant, stupid and evil, I am not going to change my position just because its the fascists doing stuff. I will point out the hypocrisy.
The big question for me is did the chuds take advice from the NSA and follow it or having blundered, did they go their own way again?
That said, giving every government official a separate locked down mobile device for government business makes excellent sense.
I would do that and I would get the Hatch act fixed so they can use them for any communication
plus of course it's not specifically NSA-approved.
And if Signal won't, we move to a new protocol that delivers the security we need.
So being exceptionally pedantic is part of the territory.

looks like SignalGate isn't over
dumb motherfuckers
If Trump didn't have a long history of only managing to get incompetents to work with him then I'd be sure this was intentional
Was this done unknowingly or is he an active agent for Israel?
I mean Jeffrey Toobin would never do that
