Rep. Pat Harrigan (RN.C.) has responded to a recent report that the Trump administration allegedly accidentally texted journalists about a military strike in Yemen.
Reports about the president continue to be drawn Donald Trump’s The company, which is the administration’s signal use, issued a statement on Tuesday to remove the air, saying its software is the “gold standard for private and secure communication.”
On Monday, the Atlantic editor-in-chief revealed that it was incorrectly included in the messaging chain of Trump officials who discussed plans for upcoming strikes in Yemen’s Houtis.
The report has been criticised severely, with news like NPR reporting that “vulnerabilities” have been identified in messenger applications, suggesting that specialized Russian hacking groups will use the device to spy on encrypted conversations.
In response to NPR’s report, the signal said its claim that the signal is “vulnerable” was not accurate.
“This memo used the term “vulnerability” in relation to signals, but had no relation to the core technology of signals. It was a warning against phishing scams targeting signal users,” the statement read. “Phishing is not new, it is not a flaw in the technology underlying encryption and signals. Phishing attacks are a constant threat to popular apps and websites.”
“To protect people from the victims of sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal has introduced new user flows and in-app warnings,” the statement continued. “This work has been completed for a while and is unrelated to the current event.
“Because the signal is open source, the code is regularly scrutinized in addition to regular formal audits,” adds Kore. “We are also constantly monitoring security@signal.org for new reports and act quickly to protect those who rely on us from external threats like phishing, such as warnings and protection. This will remain the gold standard for private, secure communication.”
