A WIRED review shows national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.
Idk man, he’s a public figure.
Like, would we be this mad if Kamala accidentally leaked her phone’s contact list (names only, no numbers)?
And to be clear, it’d be another thing entirely if he had, like, secret government sources in his contact list or something. But I don’t see anyone saying that as far as I can tell. It’s just his personal friends and contacts.
This is the kind of opsec you should have if you’re an executive at a mid-level company. Much less Vice President or anywhere related to the decision making body of the military.
Shit, I’d harrangue my friends and famliy for this by default. There are lots of attack vectors you open by having a list of “close friends” or whatever you want to call it. We just saw a self-own with the Signal stuff. But a malicious actor could social-engineer one of these pinheads in no time to set up some kind of phishing or other attack.
