  • This has nothing to do with Signalgate directly, except that it affects some of the same Trump officials.

    Furthermore, the main concerns about Signalgate isn’t Signal’s security. While we can obviously never fully rule out that Signal could be compromised, there are many other ways the chat could get compromised:

    1. Someone’s Signal account could get compromised if someone else steals or guesses the password (like in the Spiegel article).
    2. Some unauthorized person could accidentally get invited to the chat (for example a journalist from the Atlantic).
    3. One of the phones could get hacked. (This is likely to happen if someone takes their phone to Russia.)

    Additionally, Signal was used to avoid any records of what was discussed.
