I don't know if there's some misunderstanding here - they weren't (I presume) using these apps for tactical comms. They're used for basic office and social messaging. Things like 'are you in tomorrow?' that you might send by clear phone call or civilian email anyway. The Swiss army of course have a full suite of encrypted tactical and operational UHF, VHF, HF, TacSat, etc.
- pas 5y agoSo what's the difference between a civilian email and Signal?
- Jtsummers 5y agoPresumably civilian email use for official communications is either less significant than Signal/WhatsApp/Telegram, or an official policy against civilian email use already exists and this is a clarification/extension of that policy.
- dathinab 5y agoAlso people tend to be more "chatty" on messengers and tend to think less what they write, hence much more chance of an accidental inclusion of sensitive information.
