#TeleMessage, that app used by the #Trump administration to archive Signal messages, has been #hacked. The #hacker managed to get some users' #Signal group chats and messages too. This is a hugely significant #breach not just for those individual customers, but also for the U.S. government more widely.

…the #GSA oversharing, which continued over at least 4 years, also suggests a pattern of sloppy handling of sensitive information that spans both the #Trump & #Biden admins.

The records reviewed by WaPo did not specify whether the East & West Wing plans, the blast door details, or the banking information were #classified.

[And on Sunday it was revealed that the #Signal chat “Houthi PC small group chat” was not the only Signal group chat that divulged #military operational details prior to the attacks. #Hegseth set up another group chat that included his wife & brother called the “Defense | Team Huddle” chat where he shared the same info as in the “Houthi PC small group chat”.]

The #GoogleDrive incident is the latest digital #security lapse for the #Trump admin. Last month, top officials inadvertently included the editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine in an unclassified chat used to discuss highly sensitive #military planning, & Trump’s #NationalSecurity adviser & his staff used personal #Gmail accounts for government communications, which experts described as insufficiently secure, The Post reported.

The records show that the employees inadvertently shared a #GoogleDrive folder containing the sensitive documents with the entire #GSA staff, which totals >11,200 people, acc/to the agency’s online directory.

The information shared also included the details of a proposed blast door for the #WhiteHouse visitor center, the records show, as well as #bank account information for a vendor who assisted with a #Trump admin news conference.

Govt ofvls under #Biden & #Trump improperly shared sensitive documents w/thousands of federal workers, including potentially #classified floor plans of the #WhiteHouse, acc/to internal records reviewed by WaPo.

Career employees at the #GSA, which provides administrative & tech support for much of the federal bureaucracy & manages the govt’s real estate portfolio, were responsible for the oversharing, which spurred a #cybersecurity incident report & investigation last week.

And again, I challenge you to show me ANYWHERE that #Signal is permitted for the processing or storage of non-public government information. The NSA memo (link below) explicitly calls out that it shall not be used even for *unclassified* (protected, FOUO, CUI) data. And that would apply to everybody in the national security apparatus.

Anybody stating anything to the contrary is a liar, a shill or both.

#DOJ says that the only thing they are authorized to say is that the two flights which took off after the written order were not relevant to this case (which I guess is saying they had no one subject to the #AlienEnemiesAct #AEA on board?). He then claims #NationalSecurity & diplomacy mean he won't answer further.

Because #terrorists apparently don’t have money. They finance multimillion dollar operations on multiple continents FFS.

Then there’s the #RussianOligarchs, #DrugCartels, you name it.

#Trump is such a f⁕⚠︎ing idiot it is painful.

Born here? Sorry. Got cash? Okay, sure.

#Trump floats $5 million '#GoldCard' as a route to #US #citizenship

Trump on Tuesday floated the idea of replacing a #visa program for foreign investors with a so-called "gold card" that could be bought for $5 million as a route to American citizenship.
