Trump's second presidential term has seen Signal, an encrypted messaging app, unexpectedly gain attention following a leaked chat involving military plans. The incident, which included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, sparked widespread interest in Signal, leading to a surge in downloads. Critics warn this highlights serious risks, as other unreported chats may exist. Notably, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of Signal on unsecured devices raised alarms about the app's security, especially given its popularity among officials, while features like auto-delete may create false security assurances.
Critics argue that if top officials are discussing war plans on Signal, there may be other unreported conversations, raising concerns over security.
After an accidental inclusion in a chat discussing military plans, Signal saw a significant uptick in downloads, illustrating the app's newfound prominence.
