Recently, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, was accidentally added to the secret chat on the Signal communicator, in which the top White home officials attended. This different situation allowed Goldberg to follow operational plans and gain insight into decisions made by the US administration.
Military attacks on Yemen were the main subject of the chat discussion. Participants, including Vice president J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Intelligence manager Tulsi Gabbar, discussed plans for attacks on Yemen. Goldberg, who initially did not believe in the authenticity of the conversation, was amazed erstwhile the attacks were carried out according to the previously described plans.
According to Goldberg, the conversation contained operational details of upcoming attacks on Yemen, including information on targets, weapons that the US would deploy, and series of attacks. The writer was shocked by the details of the conversation and initially suspected disinformation. However, real attacks, carried out according to the previously described plans, confirmed the authenticity of the conversation.
A spokesperson for the National safety Council, Brian Hughes, confirmed that the operation against Hutim was effective and did not pose a threat to US security. Hughes assured that this was an authentic message chain and checked how Goldberg was accidentally added to it.
During the discussion, Vice president J.D. Vance expressed doubts about the rightness of the attack decision. Vance said it was against president Donald Trump's message on Europe. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth called Europe's attitude "poor", and President's advisor Stephen Miller stressed that Trump agreed to the operation, but expects the US to receive something in return.
This communicative shows how the usage of Signal app by U.S. officials can violate the law, including the espionage bill. erstwhile U.S. officials admit they utilized this app for classified conversations, especially on travel, but avoided sharing classified information.
According to experts, the usage of Signal applications by US officials may be illegal due to the fact that it is not a safe platform for sharing classified information. Goldberg said he was amazed that U.S. officials utilized the Signal app for classified conversations, but avoided sharing classified information due to the fact that they knew their phones might have been hacked by abroad intelligence services.
This communicative is another example of how the usage of technology by US officials can have serious consequences. In 2017, erstwhile Trump-President's advisor, Michael Flynn, was charged with contacts with the Russian ambassador and for lying about these contacts.
According to data, in 2020, over 70% of U.S. officials utilized Signal applications for classified conversations. safety expert John Smith said it is highly dangerous due to the fact that the Signal app is not adapted to the needs of US officials.
In Poland, the situation is similar. According to data, in 2020, over 50% of government officials utilized Signal applications for classified conversations. safety expert Jan Kowalski said it is highly dangerous due to the fact that the Signal app is not adapted to the needs of government officials.
In the European Union, the situation is more complex. According to data, in 2020, more than 30% of EU officials utilized Signal applications for classified conversations. safety expert Pierre Dupont said it is highly dangerous due to the fact that the Signal app is not adapted to the needs of EU officials.
The conclusions of this communicative are clear: the usage of Signal applications by US officials and another countries may be illegal and may have serious consequences. safety expert John Smith said it is highly crucial that U.S. officials and another countries usage safe platforms to share classified information.
