Find passwords and private data from Trump ministers online
The chat scandal of Donald Trump’s cabinet has not yet been subsided, so it seems to be expanding. The “Spiegel” discovered private data from US government members.
After the error transmission of the operating plan, a US military attack on the Yemeni Huthi militia to a journalist about another serious security gap in the US government. According to a report published on Wednesday, private contact details of the most important security advisors of US President Donald Trump can be viewed on the Internet.
Accordingly, journalists searched commercial person search engines as well as hacked customer data published online. They found private mobile numbers, e-mail addresses and sometimes even passwords from the national security consultant Mike Waltz, by Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and secret service coordinator Tulsi Gabbard.
Most of these numbers and email addresses are apparently still used by those affected, the medium continues. For example, the contact details that can be viewed online are associated with profiles in the online service Instagram and the LinkedIn career network. In addition, accounts in the cloud service Dropbox and profiles have been created in apps that record running data.
According to the report, even accounts in the Measurement Services WhatsApp and Signal are linked to the numbers of Gabard and Waltz. As the “Spiegel” continues, enemy intelligence agencies could have the opportunity to infect the devices of government members with spy software.
Disposy of espionage for Trump’s government members
It is even conceivable that foreign agents joined when Gabbard, Waltz and Hegseth exchanged a signal about an attack on the Huthi militia in mid-March, writes the magazine. Gabard, Waltz and Hegseth initially left inquiries from the magazine unanswered.
The accidental admission of the “Atlantic” editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg in the chat group in the online service Signal, in which the plans for the attack on the Pro-Iranian Huthi militia had been shared between ministers and other high-ranking government members on March 15, has been in Washington Hohen.
Goldberg reported for the first time in a article published on Monday that he had been included in the group and had found the attack plans. On Wednesday he released the entire chat.
