Summary

The Pentagon warned employees against using the encrypted messaging app Signal due to a potential vulnerability exploited by Russian hackers.

The warning came just before a security breach where top Trump administration officials, including the vice president and defense secretary, accidentally added a journalist to a Signal group chat discussing military strikes in Yemen.

The leak sparked outrage and criticism, though Trump downplayed it as a “glitch.”

Signal stated it was unaware of any unaddressed vulnerabilities.
