As top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia
-
The main thing to remember about authoritarians is that none have ever been documented to be impervious to small pieces of metal moving at high speed.
Note to self: before becoming dictator, develop natural immunity to small arms fire. Begin with BB gun?

Trump is a Russian asset and the Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.
-
That encryption is not impenetrable, however, and the Google Threat Intelligence Group warned just last month of "increasing efforts from several Russia state-aligned threat actors to compromise Signal Messenger accounts used by individuals of interest to Russia's intelligence services."
This is somewhat disingenuous. Signal can't be directly cracked. Only access to the phone directly or via mirroring can expose it. The article somewhat explains this.
I am in no way whatsoever excusing the actions of these douche-chalupas. I prefer accuracy in my reporting, though. That said, Witkoff in Russia may as well have been a direct line to Putin.
-
That is being tested right now.
It’s not looking good, bruh.

As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.

Independently verifiable detail number 28543 showing that Trump and everyone he has appointed are unfit for office, and that no one who voted for him will ever care about, and from which no consequences will ever flow.

This seems a bit too nitpicky tbh.
The author is correct, Signal is not "perfect", because the weakest link is always the endpoint device and the end user. Which is kind of the whole point of this article; The issue is not that Signal was used, as it's reasonably secure, it's that the people using it are not secure at all. -

may as well have been a direct line to Putin.
Was Mr Putin over his shoulder at the crucial moment, or just a state-run high-def camera?

I agree and said as much in my last comment. But the way the article presented it made it feel like there is a clear and present danger from Chinese and Russian threat actors against the protocol.

Looks like Russia won the ideological war and will be exporting authoritarianism to the globe.
Nahhhh according to the tankies of .ml, Russia is just trying to export humanity-saving peace, love and socialism but has just been continuously beaten down by the big bad US

The most uncrackable encryption can be defeated by Steven Witkoff sitting on Putin's lap while reading the messages.

Given the rest of their behavior I'm seeing that chat member leaning across the lunch table towards Putin's secretary, holding out his phone: "hey look, we're just about to bomb Yemen!"

Lol I wear my ban with pride. All you have to do is go over there and use the word 'tankie'. They really don't like that word for some reason.

Krasnov, destroying America from within since 1987, the best accidental investment Putin ever made. Great success, comrades!
