That is definitely the context needed. Not sure though if he needed to know the exact details of the battle plans whilst in Russia. Still feels like a slight lack of control of sensitive information. Albeit it’s not as bad as forgetting you had a journalist in the same chat.
Through an unsecure platform, no less.
There really is no excuse for any of this. And they are denying that a chat existed, or that any classified information was posted, or that there were even plans to attack anyone... imbeciles. Every single one.
How is Signal unsecure?
Unsecure ≠ Insecure
Unsecure in this context generally means not in compliance with military and classified security practices and procedures for "securing" information.
Signal is secure in the sense of being strong end-to-end cryptography.
Or said differently: signal will probably resist attempts to hack the chat, but it won’t resist the “beat him with a wrench til he unlocks his phone” strategy. That’s why secure comms for governments are usually done in a secure room in an embassy, on hardwired devices.
