When Your Threat Model Is Being a Moron (www.404media.co)

One of the most basic tenets of cybersecurity is that you must “consider your threat model” when trying to keep your data and your communications safe, and then take appropriate steps to protect yourself.

This means you need to consider who you are, what you are talking about, and who may want to know that information (potential adversaries) for any given account, conversation, etc. The precautions you want to take to protect yourself if you are a random person messaging your partner about what you want to eat for dinner may be different than those you’d want to take, if, hypothetically, you are the Secretary of Defense of the United States or a National Security Advisor talking to top administration officials about your plans for bombing an apartment building in Yemen.

The reporter is a former IDF soldier, there is no way he would face any real blowback from Trump. There is a reason they had his number to add to the group and it's because they were already feeding him information. The Atlantic is just a left coded mouthpiece for the State Department.

So your conspiracy is that a left-wing aligned journalist was in the phone of a right-wing politician. Therefore it's his fault he received the information and shouldn't have reported it?

Really? Even the flat Earth people would think that's stupid.

Lol, I didn't say any of that. But it's a fact Goldberg has been a mouthpiece for the State department going back to at least the Iraq war in my opinion. He's not a Trump guy but just doesn't want to piss off any current administration so he won't lose his access.
