Trump’s failed Truth Social DM is just the latest government security fail
Months after an administration that has already undergone several basic safety gusts, it is not exactly surprising to see President Donald Trump broadcast complaints in a social post of public truth which seemed intended for PAM Bondi DM. In the post, Trump is addressed directly to the American prosecutor Bondi, criticizing the lack of legal action against his opponents.
“Pam: I reviewed more than 30 declarations and articles saying that, essentially,” even ancient story as the last time, all speak of any action, “wrote Trump.” They dismissed me twice and charged me (5 times!) … Justice must be done, now !!! “he added that the help of the White House Lindsey Halligan is a” very good lawyer ” General of New York, Leticia James, for an alleged mortgage fraud.
Although Trump’s post did not initially include Halligan’s surname, a republished version added it, suggesting that the administration may try to make it look a little more like a public-oriented message. This is the kind of tactic that we have already seen from the Trump administration, as when the officials tried to justify Trump’s strike (almost certainly) “Covfefe”.
Aside from the alarming content of the message, the Flub highlights a disturbing trend that has members of the Trump administration disclosing sensitive information on platforms that do not have the same standards as equipment and secure networks generally used by the government. Trump is clearly at ease to send what seems to be confidential information on a DM on a social platform – a notoriously unsafe communication class. And it does not seem that the rest of his team puts a lot of care in the way they deal with classified communications either.
The situation continued to make snowball when a report The New York Times revealed that the American secretary of war, Pete Hegseth, also shared information on the strikes of Yemen in a distinct signal conversation with non -government officials, including his wife, his brother and several other personal and professional relationships. Hegseth would have used his personal phone number for these signal communications, that the Times Also retraced WhatsApp, Facebook and a fantastic sports site.
Even ice agents seem to have had trouble keeping their conversations under the wraps. Last month, a report of 404 media Detailed How ICE officials inadvertently added a random person to a group cat, who revealed sensitive information about an individual “apparently marked for deportation”, including his criminal history, his social security number and his driving license number.
Security risks do not even stop at person’s messages. The team of the Elon Musk government ministry (DOGE) was scrutinized by the government’s sensitive information in the background, despite the worries that employees do not have the appropriate security clearing. A Federal Court of Appeal granted DOGE access to an even wider band of information in August, judging that the unofficial ministry can widen data in the Treasury Department, the Department of Education and the Staff Management Office.
The number of security towers and potential privacy violations that did not even occur a year after Trump’s second term, to underestimate the question, some serious red flags. Even if the information disclosed by the administration has not been (with regard to the public) a great deal of farm, so far, government officials could endanger the country if their communications fall into bad hands.
