Security Breach: Journalist Accidentally Added to U.S. War Plan Chat

In a startling security lapse, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of *The Atlantic*, was mistakenly included in a Signal group chat discussing classified U.S. military operations.

This unprecedented mistake highlights the risks of using non-secure communication tools for national security matters, sparking debates about operational security and accountability.
