Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer.

Somewhat of a click-bait headline and article.
By itself, Signal is one of the most secure communications software, it is encrypted point to point with a different cypher per message and the cyphers are already prepared to withstand quantum processing.
The issue is not Signal, is the fact this moron was circumventing security measures as member of the government.
Plus, Signal may be secure, but is the rest of his phone? What about the phones of the people he sends top secret battle plans to?
What else is this dumb ass running? Tik Tok? Temu?
Random journalists are the least of his worries. Hostile governments have got his communications before his phone has even had a chance to beep.
Well, the issue isn't Signal being bad, it's a government official who violates FOIA requirements because apparently what he says is too damning to be scrutinized.
