- lantry 1y agoMike waltz adds Jeff Goldberg without verifying anything, then sends a message explaining the purpose of the group and asking for everyone to provide a point of contact from their staff. Everyone then shares the name of their staff member. What's your point? is something in there supposed to be "opsec"? Did you read the transcript? here's a gift link if you want to refresh your memory: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/signal-group-chat-attack-plans-hegseth-goldberg/682176/?gift=d36NuO0xvnx2Uo6shgR6fXjlmzxs7THRRvLpTGwrefk https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/signal-...
- netbioserror 1y agoMy point is that the point of contact listed at the beginning of the room is almost certainly the one reading out and dictating messages on the device, where the titled cabinet member is keeping the screen out of their hands and attention on the moment. That is proper opsec so long as the PoC is trusted, so there was a break in the trust chain. The point being: Far from being an issue of improper use of a personal device, a piece of application software, or anything the commentariat suddenly believes they're absolutely an expert in, this is much more an issue of trust breach in the chain of command and staff in the given offices. Hence why Waltz was fired: This scenario is functionally equivalent to a leak.
