Surprise! The guy leaking war plans is very, very bad at cybersecurity
If Mike Waltz knows anything about national security, he’s doing an excellent job of keeping it a secret.
Not only did President Donald Trump’s national security adviser create the now-infamous group chat that included a journalist from The Atlantic, but he also left sensitive information exposed on his Venmo account—including his friends list—until the media called him out.
According to Wired, which broke the story, both Waltz and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles had their accounts on the mobile payment app Venmo set to public until Wednesday afternoon.
For Waltz, this exposed a list of 328 “friends,” including journalists like CNN senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes and anchor Brianna Keilar, and MSNBC executive producer Lauren Peikoff—an interesting twist, given Trump’s longstanding attacks on both networks for being “dishonest” for simply reporting the truth about him. A separate analysis by The Prospect also found that Waltz’s connections included the apparent winner of the Miss Florida pageant.
