Mike Waltz's Venmo account showed his contacts — even after bombshell report on secret Signal chat
CBSN
Washington — Soon after the revelation that the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic had inadvertently been added to a Signal chat with top Trump administration officials about Yemen attack plans, some of those officials began changing or deleting their Venmo accounts. At least one account remained public for a day after the Atlantic report.
Venmo, an Internet-based mobile payment service owned by PayPal that allows users to send and receive money quickly, also allows the public to view users' contacts if they do not change their privacy settings.
National security experts contend the public information could be exploited by foreign intelligence services or other nefarious actors.
