A leak from the Trump administration revealed details of upcoming military strikes against Iran-backed Houthis, shared in a group chat that included The Atlantic's editor. The US National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the text chain, which reportedly contained operational details and was sent shortly before airstrikes began on March 15. Despite efforts to curb leaks of sensitive information, this incident raised concerns about how a journalist had been added to the chat. The Signal app, known for its security, was used for correspondence, but the information shared was likely classified.
The US National Security Council stated that the text chain 'appears to be authentic', revealing operational details about planned military strikes against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
Government officials have used the Signal app for organisational correspondence, but it is not classified. Privacy experts claim it's more secure than conventional texting.
