The leak of a private Signal chat involving U.S. government officials discussing military actions against Houthi rebels marks a severe security failure, leading to investigations. Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly included in the chat due to a misidentification, exposing sensitive discussions. Experts underscore that while apps like Signal are secure, they are unsuitable for classified communications due to human error. The incident could have had dire consequences, prompting urgent calls for improved operational security practices within the government.
Described as the worst U.S. security breach in a generation, the leak is an unprecedented failure for the White House.
It's fortunate the journalist chose not to share all the information and waited until after the relevant events unfolded.
