Again: The important question isn't "how did a reporter get added to a Signal group for discussing sensitive military operations?" (though that's certainly worth asking).

Again: The important question isn't "how did a reporter get added to a Signal group for discussing sensitive military operations?" (though that's certainly worth asking).
The big question is why Signal was used for discussing sensitive military operations in the first place, especially when everyone involved (except the reporter) had ready access to official classified communications systems.
Signal is great, but it's not designed to prevent this kind of screw up. The official systems are.

I did a brief pre-dawn explainer segment about Signal on NPR's Morning Edition the other day, which they seem to have recorded. Just basic stuff, but some may find it useful.
Just how secure is the messaging app Signal?
The private messaging Signal is not a secure government network but it is used by many government officials and journalists. NPR's Leila Fadel talks with Matt Blaze, cybersecurity expert and professor at Georgetown University Law Center, about security features on Signal.

Thanks to everyone taking the time to explain what a terrible person I am for failing to mention all the moral and geopolitical implications of bombing Yemen in my 4 minute explainer segment about Signal and secure communications technology.
But - joke’s on you - I already knew what a terrible person I am! You’re telling me nothing new.
