Summary

DER SPIEGEL reporters uncovered private contact details and passwords of senior U.S. security officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, through public data leaks and commercial search engines.

The leaks revealed active phone numbers linked to Signal, WhatsApp, and social media accounts, raising severe security concerns.

This follows an recent exposed Signal chat discussed military plans against Yemen’s Houthi militia.

Security experts warned of phishing, spyware, and deepfake risks from the leaks.

      No. MAGAt will do nicely.
