Donald Trump’s most important security advisers used Signal to discuss an imminent military strike. Now, reporting by DER SPIEGEL has found that the contact data of some of those officials, including mobile phone numbers, is freely accessible on the internet.
A search of leaked user data revealed that the email address and, in some cases, even the password associated with it, could be found in over 20 publicly accessible leaks.
When you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it did, in fact, get a lot worse.
This is everything Putin ever dreamt of, and more.
They signed up for incogni after watching a YouTube streamer to learn Signal but invited a Russian data broker to the meeting about it.

Highly doubt it. Der Spiegel has a record of solid investigative journalism, and they used publicly accessible information.
They weren’t saying that Der Spiegel was fake news, they were saying that their own sentence above was likely false. Could have just used /s or something, but yeah, they weren’t calling out Der Spiegel
Yeah, you’re right. Wasn’t properly caffeinated and my knee jerked. Sorry about that, Hobbes!
No, no, I just mean my bullshit. Because satire is dead.
More correctly, it’s obsolete.
It just can’t keep up with a reality that is this absurd.
I think they meant their own message. As in “this is the most ridiculous bullshit I could come up with, but maybe they really fucked up that bad”.
The Kombover King’s Kaotic Keystone Kops of the Kakistocracy!
But they just put them in, like the pop-up said…
Most security doesn’t really require a lot of intelligence, but I think “happy to lick Trump’s asshole” is probably not an adequate qualification for positions in government.
