Google spent billions on security infrastructure. Endpoint detection. DLP. Behavioral analytics. Zero trust architecture.

Then two engineers defeated it by pointing a phone at the screen and taking pictures. For months.

When Google caught them, one signed an affidavit saying she hadn't shared anything. The DOJ indictment describes hundreds of transferred files. The phone camera. That was the exfiltration tool. The phone camera they carried past security every morning.

An absolute insane story today from The Atlantic, whose Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg as well as possible others appear to have been inadvertently added to a conversation over Signal earlier this month by U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, in which Waltz, Secretary of State Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, and other officials with the Trump Administration discussed whether the now ongoing strike operation against the Houthis in Yemen should take place and its extent.

In the article, “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans” Goldberg states that he was connected with Waltz with through Signal on March 11th, before eventually being added to a group titled “Houthi PC small group” where details about the strikes in Yemen were discussed, prior to them being launched by the U.S. Navy and Air Force on March 15th.

Goldberg states that over the two day period he was in the groupchat prior to the strikes, senior officials in the Administration debated whether they should take place, with Vice President JD Vance suggesting that large-scale strikes should not be launched, because most Americans did not care about and were not being affected by the attacks on ships in the Red Sea, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued in favor of the strikes and their usefulness in deterring future attacks against shipping through the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Then roughly two hours before strikes against the Houthis in Yemen began on March 15th, Goldberg states he received a message in the chat from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth titled, “TEAM UPDATE” adding that he would not be quoting the message exactly, due to it and forthcoming messages containing top-secret information which Goldberg states, “If they had been read by an adversary of the United States, could conceivably have been used to harm American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the broader Middle East, Central Command’s area of responsibility. What I will say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation, is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.”

Brian Hughes, Spokesman for the White House National Security Council was later asked by Goldberg about the conversation, to which he stated, “This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain. The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to troops or national security.”

If you called out Israel for the Gaza hospital bombing, I want you to use the same energy to call out Palestinian Islamic Jihad for being the ones who misfired a rocket at that hospital.

Or was it not really about Palestinian civilians?

@ErikvHaren Waarom was deze race zo significant zwaar? Was het simpelweg warmer dan elk andere race, of zijn er andere factoren die het nog zwaarder maakten? En zal het dan ook echt schelen om de race in december te gaan houden?
