United States Attorney General Pam Bondi addressed public concerns over the use of the Signal messaging app following the inadvertent exposure of sensitive discussions related to U.S. strike plans in Yemen. Speaking during an interview on Fox News, Bondi defended the platform’s security.

“I don’t think foreign adversaries are able to hack Signal, as far as I know,” Bondi stated, emphasizing her trust in the encrypted communication service. “It’s a very safe way to communicate.” Her comments came in response to questions about whether senior officials would continue using the app for high-level discussions.

The reassurance comes after reports revealed that confidential messages concerning U.S. plans for military actions in Yemen were briefly exposed. The incident, which sparked debate over the use of consumer messaging platforms for government business, raised alarms over data security and protocol adherence at the highest levels of government.

Bondi downplayed the severity of the incident, characterizing it as an error rather than a security breach. “It was a mistake, and nothing more than that,” she said. According to Bondi, she and all intelligence officials involved in the discussion remain confident that no hostile entity accessed the communications and that the platform itself remains secure.

Her remarks aimed to reassure both lawmakers and the public that steps are being taken to safeguard national security communications while maintaining the convenience and encryption benefits of apps like Signal. While no formal investigation findings have been released, the Justice Department continues to review its communication protocols in light of the event.

The Attorney General’s endorsement of Signal indicates that, for now, the administration views the platform as a reliable tool in its secure communication strategy. As cybersecurity remains a top priority, officials may look to bolster oversight mechanisms to prevent similar mishaps in the future.
