Overview

  • Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic was mistakenly added to a Signal group chat discussing U.S. military strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, exposing sensitive operational details.
  • The Atlantic published screenshots of the Signal chat, revealing the timing of the strikes, which reportedly caused significant casualties in Yemen on March 15.
  • A federal judge has mandated the preservation of all related Signal messages from March 11 to March 15, as investigations into the breach and compliance with transparency laws continue.
  • Reports from Der Spiegel revealed that private contact details and passwords of top U.S. officials, including Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth, were accessible online, raising further security concerns.
  • Elon Musk has offered technical assistance to investigate the breach, as bipartisan criticism mounts and calls for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's resignation grow louder.
