The Pentagon warns government officials that Signal is being targeted by Russian hackers
As it became clear, including a correspondent in the National Security Commander group chatting about military strikes, is not the only way to provide sensitive information about the signal. NPR It was reported on Tuesday that, days after the serious national security of the Trump administration, the Pentagon issued a warning against the use of the correspondence application due to poor fishing.
"Weakness in the Messenger Signal app has been determined," Email at the level level obtained by NPR Read. "It employs Russian professional piracy groups [Signal's] Features of “associated devices” to spy on encrypted conversations." The post says that the memo states that Russian piracy groups "Targeting messenger to spy on people with attention."
Signal spokesman said NPR The memorandum was not related to signal security, but about the podium attacks. So, if you use the app, be sure to realize attempts to deceive you to connect the devices to your account. Or simply communicate through different channels.

Atlantic Ocean Editor -in -chief Jeffrey Goldberg said on Monday that a group of national security officials of the Trump administration unintentionally covered him in a group chat signal discussing military strikes in Yemen.

as well as "It would be funny if it is not very dangerous" The nature of the failure, Higseth went on the camera to deny the authenticity of the chat after The White House confirmed that.
Although the repercussions are still formed, this is an early taste. Watch below as a retired US naval commander and current American Mark Kelly encourage Gabbard and Ratcliffe at Capitol Hill on Tuesday.
