The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Even my work has better OPSEC on a random stupid meeting with nothing interesting. They review every attendee to make sure no one unexpected is in the chat.

The Trump administration is so close to making the greatest post of all time on the War Thunder forums

Good thing they fired everyone who worked in secure communications.

Post is constantly being deleted on Reddit. What is going on?

[–] PurpleSkull@lemm.ee 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah. Both on r/worldnews and r/europe. Not in smaller national subreddits though, where people are up in arms about the Europe comments. I don't understand why Reddit would seek to censor these leaks, as they are already disseminated across the MSM everywhere.

Social media companies just doing the bidding of their owners.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Usually it's due to many many many duplicate posts.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

They’re just cunts.

Next week: the trump administration accidentally texted its war plans on my Minecraft server.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 18 points 1 week ago

Yo what the fuck

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Well, at least it encrypted, unlike trumps bathroom.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think the screenshot removed your link?

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh I think it did as well. Sorry about that!

I think I fixed it

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It geniuely concerns me that this type of stuff doesn't warrant a meeting or encrypted messaging.

[–] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The messaging was encrypted, they where using Signal. The dumb fuck just "accidentally" added the reporter to the group chat 😆

Locks are just as effective as the people wielding the keys.

Saying singal is secure is actually a wild take. JS felt like this was a in person type of job.

[–] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why do you say it isn't secure? I'm not saying it should be used for what they where doing. I was just saying, it is encrypted

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It was hacked in 2022 and 1900 accounts and their messages were leaked.

If your serious about security you need to use anon messages.

Signal ok for local drug dealers but for international war games I'd like something better then a app on the app store.
