In a serious security lapse, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was mistakenly included in a confidential group chat with top U.S. national security officials discussing military plans against the Houthis in Yemen. The chat, conducted on the encrypted app Signal, raised alarms when it became clear that the U.S. bombing of Yemen began shortly after Goldberg received the war plan. The National Security Council acknowledged the legitimacy of the shared information but neglected to voice any concerns about the breach. Separately, a court is deliberating the legality of deporting members of a Venezuelan gang using the Alien Enemies Act.
In a significant security breach, journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a group chat with U.S. national security officials discussing bombing plans in Yemen.
Goldberg thought the invitation to the chat was a hoax but later confirmed the authenticity as U.S. bombing in Yemen began just hours after.
