This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported.
It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.

In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

When the only people who have decent security are the competent few, many of whom became competent because they have something particularly worth concealing, there are fewer traffic sources who stand out more and are easier to individually target for endpoint compromises

The AT Orbital Laser does not collect any user data outside of the blocks, mutes and lists it necessarily leaves behind in the smoldering ruins of the impact site.
Nothing else. Not even how many have used it. It does not remember who fired it at whom, when, or why.
