Ironically having a giant security breach happen in a security focused messaging app was good advertising.
Of course in this instance the breach was not because of the app, which is a good thing I guess.

Gestures broadly at the federal government
Gestures narrowly at oval office and cabinet.
On Signal you can verify user identify, and you should absolutely do it if were to discuss national security maters.
This is not a hidden feature, I think it's designed to prevent man in the middle attack. It also work against the "oops I accidentally added a journalist to my conversation no one should know of", which is so dumb that no one saw this coming ๐
It's not a security breach per se. Someone accidentally added a journalist to the group. Signal is still as safe as it's ever been.
