⚡️ Top US Security Officials Leave Signal and Venmo Accounts Exposed
@takebackourtech
You've seen Signal chats of Trump's war cabinets circulating widely - but more leaks have surfaced showing Venmo accounts belonging to Mike Waltz - National Security Adviser under Trump and other high ranking officials.
Last month Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth left his Venmo exposed.
Through a public Venmo profile, you could find hundreds of their associates - including military officers, lobbyists, and others - useful for foreign intelligence operations.
And more recently German newspaper Spiegel found passwords belonging to those officials.
These credentials are still in use for things like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Dropbox.
Many in the technology and privacy community like to posture like the surveillance state knows absolutely everything about everyone - but events like this really make you second guess the level of competency at the highest levels.

And more recently German newspaper Spiegel found passwords belonging to those officials.
Private contact details of the most important security advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump can be found on the internet. DER SPIEGEL reporters were able to find mobile phone numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to the top officials.
To do so, the reporters used commercial people search engines along with hacked customer data that has been published on the web. Those affected by the leaks include National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
These credentials are still in use for things like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Dropbox.

As governments and users alike reassess their relationship with tech, especially in light of escalating geopolitical tensions, there has been a huge increase in demand for independent, non-aligned, and values-driven solutions. Europe needs European alternatives. In fact, everybody deserves European alternatives. And with Vivaldi and Proton, you’re getting exactly that.- Vivaldi CEO
