For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

TL;DR:

Reporters at Der Spiegel claim to have found phone numbers, email addresses, and social media login credentials for multiple top White House officials, including National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

~~They also claim to have "revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels in Washington." Though the article does not divulge details.~~

Edit: Reading comprehension failure on my part.

Pretty easy when all of their phone passcodes are “1488”

Not really. Context:

As such, the reporting has revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels in Washington. Hostile intelligence services could use this publicly available data to hack the communications of those affected by installing spyware on their devices. It is thus conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group in which Gabbard, Waltz and Hegseth discussed a military strike.

They are referring to this reporting as having "revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach".

The wording in the article was not the best, easy mistake to make.

So if you were a journalist and 'stumbled' upon this data, which would it be: expose the leak as a scandal, or compromise the accounts and milk them for continuous leads and inside info?

Highest levels…hmm 🤔
