| #1 Hold up. Wait a minute. Something ain't right. Under the Biden administration in 2024, CISA released a "Mobile Communications Best Practice Guidance" for "highly targeted individuals," who were defined as high-ranking government officials or politicians who are "likely to possess information of interest to these threat actors." The document specifically addressed high-targeted politicos and officials, though it noted the guide was "applicable to all audiences." .... The document, published in December, details that highly-targeted government officials should use "end-to-end encrypted communications" as part of its "best practices" advice. .... A Department of Defense memo from 2023 under the Biden administration detailed that while Signal was approved for some use by government officials, they could not use the platform to "access, transmit, process non-public DoD information." CISA's guidance related to Signal was released after the Department of Defense guidance. Are you telling me that the Signal App, known to have compromises, recommendation for use was made after the election? |
