Just because the Russians are trying to hack Signal doesn't mean anything. Tell me an app that the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, etc. aren't trying to hack. That will be a much shorter list.kalm wrote: ↑Sun Mar 30, 2025 12:07 pmSure. And you’d have the same take if it happened under a donk administration.
A few of many reasons.
https://www.wvtm13.com/article/national ... y/64301518Signal is an app anyone can download to their device, which encrypts messages to keep them secure. It's considered a go-to for the military, journalists, and privacy advocates but is not approved for classified conversations.
"It's wonderful for encrypting your communications, from the moment you hit send to the moment it hits the other guy's phone or laptop. The problem is, once it hits one while it's on your device, and when it gets to the other device, it's openly available. And so if those devices are compromised, you know, through some kind of hacking, through perhaps malware that was installed six months ago, through some kind of open surveillance, because the person may be using the phone out in an open public area, these are definitely, definitely concerns we would have about using that platform," Pfeiffer said.
Just one day before the strikes, the Defense Department warned staff that Russia was trying to hack Signal, raising serious concerns about security risks, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Since Trump is a Russian asset, I'm sure he handed off the plans to the Russians beforehand anyway.
