This story by Jeffrey Goldberg has to be read to be believed. Basically, he got invited by accident to be part of the planning of strike on Houthi militias. The chat group included the National Security Advisor, the Vice President, Secretaries of Defense and State and prominent members of the White House staff. Somehow no one noticed that a journalist was in that virtual space with them.
Look, the Houthis do not have the capacity to hack these systems. Russia, China and possibly Iran do. You simply cannot carry on classified discussions on cell phones, even on an encrypted app.
What's more there are a staggering number of crimes committed by doing this. Multiple crimes along multiple avenues of wrong doing.
It goes without saying that there will be no legal accountability.
