A major security breach involving a leaked Signal group chat has exposed classified details of a US military strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The chat, which included top US officials, was accidentally shared with a journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz has taken "full responsibility" for the "embarrassing" leak, though the exact method of the breach remains unclear. The incident raises serious concerns about the security of Signal, an encrypted messaging app that has been targeted by Russian hackers. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who was in the chat, clarified that he did not have access to his personal phone while in Moscow, using only a government-issued secure phone. The NSA has warned of Signal's vulnerabilities, and the Pentagon has issued a memo advising against its use for sensitive information. While officials claim no classified information was shared, the leaked messages revealed sensitive details about the timing and execution of the airstrikes, causing a significant security lapse. The incident has sparked intense scrutiny and demands for answers regarding the administration's handling of sensitive information.
