Experts debate whether top U.S. officials should communicate military information on a non-government platform like Signal after leak to The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg.
The report shocked Washington and led to accusations from Democrats and others that President Donald Trump's team endangered national security and possibly violated the law by using Signal, a messaging app. Signal’s platform is encrypted, but that doesn’t mean it is not susceptible to hacks, experts told Fox News Digital.
Encryption means that only the sender and the receiver of a message should be able to review it; not even Signal itself can pull its contents. But even without viewing a message’s contents, some metadata might be attainable.
