    Signal is pretty good. It takes a special kind of stupid to use Signal and still end up accidentally leaking everything.

      Despite the media reports, the issue is not the journalist (I suspect he was invited on purpose to expose this).

      The problem is that our highest level government officials use signal on their insecure private phones to discuss all kinds of security issues to avoid Federal Records Act and likely everything they discuss is available to foreign governments.

      Yeah, nobody “broke” signal to make this happen. What they did was the equivalent of grabbing a random person from a White House tour group and bringing them into a SCIF, then discussing classified information.
