A prominent journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg, was inadvertently added to a group chat on Signal among top U.S. national security officials discussing military operations against the Houthis in Yemen. This incident, revealed in The Atlantic, raised major concerns about security breaches in sensitive information channels. Goldberg, upon realizing he had access to operational military discussions without being vetted, expressed disbelief at the lack of security protocols. The National Security Council acknowledged the authenticity of the message thread and is investigating how Goldberg was added to the chat without proper checks.
"I assume that I'm being hoaxed. I assume that either this is a foreign intelligence operation or an organization that tries to, you know, set up journalists or embarrass them or feed them."
"It was a chilling thing to realize that I've inadvertently discovered a massive security breach in the national security system of the United States."
