DER SPIEGEL did a deep dive and found contact information for Gabbard, Hegseth and Waltz in "commercial databases, while other information was in so-called password leaks, which are hardly a rarity on the internet.”

You were misinterpreted. #Signal is secure from the time the user pushes send until the message is displayed. Before that, the user, the device, and the circumstances of send are subject to compromise. #Gabbard knew that. #Hegseth probably didn't. Neither should be excused for that. Not to mention that it was all against the rules, rules that were made for a reason.

Private contact details of the most important security advisers to U.S. President Donald #Trump can be found on the internet. DER SPIEGEL reporters were able to find mobile phone numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to the top officials.

Those affected by the #leaks include National Security Adviser Mike #Waltz , Director of National Intelligence Tulsi #Gabbard and Secretary of Defense Pete #Hegseth .

“As such, the reporting has revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels in Washington. Hostile intelligence services could use this publicly available data to hack the communications of those affected by installing spyware on their devices. It is thus conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the #signal chat group in which #Gabbard, #Waltz and #Hegseth discussed a military strike”

#Witkoff did not confirm in the post whether he had been using #Signal on a govt device or personal device. But when recounting why he was silent for portions of the group chat discussion, Witkoff said it was "because I had no access to my personal devices until I returned from my trip."

Witkoff's post also comes after Sen #AdamSchiff sent a letter to #Gabbard & him requesting info about their use of Signal & travel by March 31.
