The people in the White House are idiots. They choose Signal because they’re either dumb/negligent -or- because they have been intentionally avoiding record preservation requirements.
Signal is a solid app for sure, but these dipshits didn’t choose it for being the right tool for the job here, as it certainly is not.
Signal, on your personal device, is fine for personal use. It is absolutely not fine for classified communication as the VP or head of DoD, as there are billions of dollars dedicated to compromising your phone.
The encryption doesn’t mean shit if they breach an endpoint or account.
If it was strictly personal chat, yeah, no problem, but they just have to assume the messages are being read by other nations.
That’s absolutely correct. Everyone seems to fixate on the encryption, but hackers are lazy and they’ll attack whatever is weakest. In this case that means the storage on the phone after it’s decrypted.
Don’t store classified information on your phone, regardless of what you use to transmit it.
LOL what kinda bullshit comment is this?

It was, actually. If they weren’t dipshits it wouldn’t have been a problem.
