Like, one thousand percent sure?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Just checking. Because it\u2019s been a strange week in the history of the group chat, those seemingly intimate text conversations that ping back and forth among friends and family members and, apparently, national security personnel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Monday, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2025\/03\/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans\/682151\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a> that he had accidentally been added to a group chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal. He followed along as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth laid out attack plans against Houthi strongholds in Yemen and watched other national security officials post celebratory emoji after the strikes had taken place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As lawmakers on both sides of the aisle condemned the security breach, Americans with their own unruly group chats watched with recognition and disbelief: How had some of the country\u2019s most powerful officials managed to so badly bungle using technology that millions of people rely on every day?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cObviously it\u2019s a very relatable screw-up,\u201d Mr. Goldberg said during <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IxzV4Gc6cww\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">an interview<\/a> with Tim Miller of The Bulwark on Tuesday. \u201cWe\u2019ve all sent texts to the wrong people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those inadvertent texts, however, don\u2019t typically contain high-stakes national security information that is being shared outside secure government channels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The incident might be \u201cthe most shockingly stupid group chat error in history,\u201d the liberal podcaster and former National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CrookedMedia\/status\/1904273244552667496\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">video on X<\/a>. In the same post, he confessed that he had once been on an email thread that mistakenly included the singer Lyle Lovett instead of his colleague, Jon Lovett. About 30 emails had been sent before anyone noticed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The group chat has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/16\/magazine\/group-chats.html\" title=\"\">quietly become a staple of modern communication<\/a> since 2008, when Apple enabled text messaging with more than one recipient. Private group chats confer a kind of juicy intimacy on the book club members, neighborhood moms, work friends or extended family members who sometimes exchange hundreds of messages per day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The feed tends to be less self-conscious than our posts on social media: In 2022, a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/08\/13\/opinion\/group-chats-social-media.html\" title=\"\">guest essay<\/a> in The New York Times declared the group chat \u201cThe Last Place Left Online for Real Conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even those without a security clearance are careful about what they share in the comfortable familiarity of their group chats. Clayton Fletcher, 48, is part of a WhatsApp group where he and around 35 other comedians roast one another and work on new material. When a new phone number appears, he goes on high alert \u2014 something that did not seem to happen when Mr. Goldberg was added to the Signal chat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe wisdom of the ages for comedians is to know your audience,\u201d Mr. Fletcher said. \u201cI guess in the modern world, it\u2019s like: Know who\u2019s in your group chats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The intimacy of the group chat has often curdled once it spills into the public eye. In 2021, an anonymous leaker <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/02\/18\/us\/politics\/ted-cruz-storm-cancun.html\" title=\"\">shared group messages<\/a> from Heidi Cruz, the wife of Senator Ted Cruz, in which she planned a trip to Canc\u00fan while millions of the senator\u2019s constituents were without electricity. (\u201cHeidi Cruz Clearly Didn\u2019t Understand That the Group Chat Knows No Loyalty,\u201d a Jezebel headline <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jezebel.com\/heidi-cruz-clearly-didnt-understand-that-the-group-chat-1846307067\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">read<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2023, The New York Times published texts among <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2023\/02\/25\/business\/media\/fox-news-dominion-tucker-carlson.html\" title=\"\">Fox News hosts<\/a> that were starkly different from their public statements about the 2020 election results. And last year, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/george-santos-mercilessly-trolls-gop-after-democrats-win-his-old-seat\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Daily Beast reported<\/a> that the former congressman George Santos had texted insults to a group chat containing members of the New York Republican delegation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSorry new phone, who dis?\u201d Representative Andrew Garbarino <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/02\/14\/2024\/george-santos-puts-former-congressional-colleagues-in-group-chat-to-call-them-fing-idiots\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">responded<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Our group chats span our professional and private lives and may include people with whom we have both strong and loose social connections. That can make them a \u201cminefield\u201d for errors, said L.M. Chilton, the author of the forthcoming thriller \u201cEveryone in the Group Chat Dies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Signal group chat incident was particularly jarring because of the colloquial, just-among-friends tone \u2014 emojis included \u2014 that it used to discuss to deadly military airstrikes, he added. And while it might be easy to blame technology for the breach, it was the mistake of the national security adviser Michael Waltz that made the group chat accessible to a journalist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s human error, and that\u2019s been with us since the dawn of time,\u201d Mr. Chilton said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Matt Buechele, 35, a writer in New York, found a bit of dark humor in the way the Signal group\u2019s members had introduced themselves one by one, the way he had seen participants do before in countless group chats for bachelor parties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Everyone has been added to a group chat in which they don\u2019t quite belong. But he suggested keeping a low profile unless you are absolutely sure you can trust the group\u2019s other members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf you see a bunch of numbers you don\u2019t know, you have to limit your group chat participation to thumbs-up reactions and \u2018haha\u2019 reactions \u2014 nothing else,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/25\/style\/group-chat-security-signal.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, are you sure you want to send that to your group chat?
