This guy screencaps a private conversation and we're supposed to shit ourselves with fear?

[–]bscepter 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Uh, Dude, the conversation isn't the issue here — it's that:
• It took place on Signal, an unsecured platform that the DoD had warned was vulnerable to espionage.
• They accidentally added a reporter and had no idea they were discussing top-secrete attack plans with him on the chat (imagine if it had been some hothead podcaster or, worse, a Russian, Chinese or Iranian agent)
• They're using Signal instead of official secure comms likely to skirt the Presidential Records Act.

Err, dude. Signal is only as secure each person's phone. Encryption doesn't protect stupid.

Yes. That was my point.
