In response to an NSA special bulletin warning of a potential vulnerability in the Signal app, the Signal Foundation issued a clarifying social media post, stating that the bulletin's use of 'vulnerability' referred to phishing scams rather than an inherent flaw in its encryption technology. This response comes as reports emerged of top Trump administration officials using Signal for sensitive communications.

Following a leak where top Trump administration officials inadvertently shared sensitive war plans via the Signal app, Signal Foundation co-founder Moxie Marlinspike posted an upbeat marketing message emphasizing the app's popularity among high-level government figures. This incident has sparked debate about the political implications of such endorsement, as it both highlights the app’s robust encryption and raises concerns over its use in potentially unapproved government communications.
