Signal Defends Security After Trump Officials Accidentally Add Journalist to Encrypted Chat

The president of Signal defended the messaging app’s security on Wednesday after top Trump administration officials mistakenly added a journalist to an encrypted chatroom where they were discussing impending U.S. military action against Yemen’s Houthis. The incident has raised concerns over government communication protocols, but Signal emphasized that the breach was due to human error rather than flaws in the platform’s encryption. The White House has not commented on the mishap.
