  1. That’s ok Trump will just executive order the internet not to exploit them

  2. when I said the incompetence was fucking infinite, I didn’t think it was THIS fucking infinite

  3. > 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.

    Holy fuck…

  5. IT will have made them change everything after the Signal thing, right? Right?

  6. If this data is easily found by journalists, imagine how hard they’ve been hacked by foreign adversaries.

    “Opsec clean” my arse.

  8. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if Donald gets himself assassinated because of the incompetence of his administration.

  9. They are going to start having serious issues in the Pentagon and uniformed services in general if this act keeps up.

  10. They are going to start having serious issues in the Pentagon and uniformed services in general if this act keeps up.

  14. Jesus fucking Christ. Like, I really hope that even some MAGA supporters can agree this is atrociously bad.

    They need removed. *Now.*

  18. Is Reddit being hacked right now? Every article says all the comments are deleted.

  19. Trump, his administrstion, and the republican party has become a massive liability for the US. Holy fuck, it’s all getting so much worse every day.

  21. This is hilarious. The people responsible for our national security have about as much awareness of internet hygiene as my 9-year-old granddaughter.  And maybe not even as much.

  22. I was a little skeptical that these people were legitimate Russian assets but how else do you explain this shit. Whose decision was it to start using commercial apps on their personal phones?

  23. Thank you to Germany and Der Spiegel for doing the reporting that the American corporate media is too scared or lazy to do.

  24. Most incompetent administration ever. I wouldn’t trust these people picking fruit. They would probably need directions and a coloring book to tell them how to do it properly.

  26. “OPSEC is clean.”

    The only thing clean about any of this is the bottom of Hegseth’s whiskey glass.

  27. If this was a dem’s administration they would’ve been rioting for an impeachment

  28. Don’t worry, Donnie’s techno kid Baron will simply turn the computer on and off and it will be all good.

  30. These people are so careless because they believe laws don’t apply to them. Laws are for the common people, not rulers or billionaires.

  31. Somebody is getting calls about their car warranty for sure.

  32. Should be noted the report can be judged credible. Der Spiegel is one of the major and most influential news outlets in Germany and not just some random Internet source.

  33. I never would have expected such incompetence from an administration that stole classified documents and left them next to a toilet.

  34. This entire administration needs to be removed right now today immediately

  36. I’m confused. Fox News has been talking non-stop about how this is no big deal.

    Could they have… lied?!

  39. This is what happens when each and every person nominated by Trump has this for their D&D attributes:

    Strength: 5
    Dexterity: 2
    Constitution: hates it
    Intelligence: fuckinglolno
    Wisdom: noseriouslyfuckinglolNO
    Charisma: 1
    Loyalty to Trump: 1.6 trillion

  40. This was their FIRST MISSION. Imagine being this lax on your first work project?

  41. Not a huge story regularly if they are practicing good protocols. Unfortunately, it’s the same people who just had a massive leak on signal. They probably reuse the same password and also have it saved everywhere. Hegseth probably has his SIPR login plastered in the bathroom.

    That being said, if it’s out there, all their accounts are compromised.

    Truly a circus.

  42. I think Democrats really need to hammer home the message that this nation isn’t safe under Trump’s admin. They’re incompetent and our enemies will take advantage of that (they already are, but they will continue to).

  43. Trump should just ask Barron to remove it with the skills he used to turn on that laptop

  44. Calling it…They are going to say someone illegally published this data, and then The Atlantic journalist found it, used the stolen data to log into the signal app and add himself to the chat without anyone knowing.
