Offenbar weitere Sicherheitslücken bei US-Regierung
Die Sicherheitslücken in der US-Regierung sind offenbar umfassender als gedacht.Vertrauliches soll wiederholt über unsichere Kanäle ausgetauscht worden sein: Im Zentrum der Vorwürfe steht ausgerechnet Sicherheitsberater Waltz.
@knittingknots2 Enough. #Waltz has to resign.
The question has been raised since Day One of #SignalGate. Question now is, is enough enough? … for even Trump?
Via Acyn:
#Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that #Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position
Stellar team. Real pros. #SignalGate strikes again!
“Nat security adviser Mike #Waltz ’s team regularly set up chats on Signal to coordinate official work on issues including Ukraine, China, Gaza, Middle East policy, Africa & Europe, according to 4 people personally added to Signal chats.
2 people said they were in or have direct knowledge of at least 20 such chats.
All 4 said they saw instances of sensitive information being discussed”

Nach dem #Signalgate ist eine neue Sicherheitslücke aufgetaucht. #Trump-Berater #Waltz soll sein privates E-Mail-Konto bei Gmail (Google!) für Belange aus dem Weißen Haus nutzen. (Als einst Hilary #Clinton ihr Privat-Mailkonto auch dienstlich benutzte, forderten Trump und Co. Gefängnisstrafe für sie.)

However, #Waltz and his team go one step further: They allegedly talked business over #Gmail, one of the team also about military positions. And – as it seems – without end-to-end encryption.
"The use of Gmail, a far less secure method of communication than the encrypted messaging app Signal, is the latest example of questionable data security practices by top national security officials already under fire"

Jeffries rips "unqualified" Waltz over Gmail report
https://www.axios.com/2025/04/02/hakeem-jeffries-mike-waltz-gmail-signal-hegseth
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) came out swinging Tuesday against Mike Waltz over a report the White House national security adviser used Gmail to discuss highly sensitive matters.
"Mike Waltz is totally and completely unqualified to be in a sensitive national security position, as is the case with the Trump national security team," Jeffries told Axios...
Members of President Donald Trump’s National Security Council, including White House national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
Gmail?!
“ #Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say -
"highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies involving sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict..."

Republicans can't stop making pathetic excuses for war chat fiasco
As fury mounts over the Trump administration’s leaking of classified military operations in an unsecure Signal group chat that included a reporter who did not have a security clearance, GOP lawmakers have continued to downplay the seriousness of the situation.
Another Senior Republican Endorses Independent Probe Into Signal Chat
Oklahoma Senator James Lankford is the latest senior Republican to endorse an independent probe into how President Donald Trump's national security officials ended up discussing military plans with a journalist on the messaging app Signal.
"Buried in the messages between National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other cabinet members is a horrible demonstration of narrative engineering.
"While the legacy media fixates on ‘classified information’, the real story is actually not the incompetence of these people but instead how they casually discussed spinning the bombing of Yemen—an already battered and famine-ravaged nation—into a palatable story for the American and global public. Let’s have a look":
