The Cybersecurity 202: Kushner’s WhatsApp habit raises security concerns

. Kushner’s lawyers said he adheres to records requirements by taking screenshots of his WhatsApp conversations and sending them to his White House email or to the National Security Council.

And the danger of possible breaches is far higher if you’re a top government official dealing with sensitive issues that major hacking groups, including foreign intelligence services, want access to – like, say, if you’re negotiating Middle East peace.Tony Cole, chief technology officer at Attivo Networks and a former FireEye, Symantec and McAfee executive, told me.

A key line from the letter to Cummings: “When asked whether Mr. Kushner has ever used WhatsApp to discuss classified information, Mr. Lowell replied, ‘That’s above my pay grade.’”PINGED, PATCHED, PWNEDPINGED: Countries around the globe are taking advantage of supercheap spyware tools to conduct surveillance on adversaries and internal dissidentsNew York Times deep dive from Mark Mazzetti, Adam Goldman, Ronen Bergman and Nicole Perlroth.

Go to every agency, even the State Department, and ask them if their employees stationed or traveling foreign use text messaging? And what app do they use? I suggest you do this quickly, before you really look foolish.

But but Hillary Clinton emails 😂

I am angry that the Republican party and our government in general allow this risk to continue. FIRE them all, fire the GOP and allow us to heal.

Unless someone is going to take charge, walk up to bug eye Kushner say hand over your phone now and get out of the WH until this is investigated for the safety of the country, complaints like this are stupid. American people's lives are in careless hands of people wants for money

Throw them in jail. Crooks the lot of them. But then again Americans like that sort of thing.

Jared can just acid wash the devices and smash them with hammers. Worked for Hillary.

It's the most atrocious anti-american crime against humanity that's ever been committed, right? Comeon MAGA Who's with me... LOCK THEM UP, LOCK THEM UP!

So HillaryClinton gets tons of hate for the same actions, gets called 'crooked' and lives in infamy, Kushner just gets a raise of security concerns? Ever reconsider the security clearances? I would.

He doesn’t care the president is his father in law and a crook!

What’s next? Snapchat with Kim Kong Un?

I’m sure Jarred has a lot to hide, not working for America’s best interest, personal gain is key

After the shitshow they pulled for two years with Hillary, I want the GOP’s nose rubbed in this. Hard.

If I had done this when working with national security information 10 years ago I would still be in prison.

Fire his sorry ass out the door, but don’t open it🤬🤬🤬🤢🤢🤮JK

Lock him up

WhatsApp is owned by Zuckerberg (Facebook) Go figure! Interesting connection.

Cool, do we get to do the 'lock him up!' chant now?

Reportedly the constant chants at Trump rallies of lock her up (Hillary) for the same or worse things Ivanka & Jared have been doing with having top security clearance fr over two years?All self-serving lying superficial hypocrites, it seems they really care nothing fr Americans?

Story Jared's criminal intent e-mails It's hackable flexiSpy iPhones, Android's Hack chats view the captured data and read WhatsApp conversations. Anyone who knows the web can find app's to hack. Classified intel info e-mails texts Possibly all done for money by Kushner

I'm sure sometimes they know exactly what they're doing

Let’s see if this gets the same attention as “her emails” nytimes

Obama gave up his iphone for security concerns. But Trump won't and his son-in-law who only got security clearances from nepotism, is even less secure. Meanwhile, GOP is still screaming at Hillary? Hypocrites

FBI senjudiciary CivilRights SenateDems HouseDemocrats why is this allowed? When will the abuse end? Why is jared kushner allowed a security clearance?

No adult uses WhatsApp. At the very least not for anything that’s “normal”. I come to the conclusion he’s either a criminal or 13 y/o girl

In any other administration, this would be a major scandal with Congressional hearings and firings. Hard to aim the hoses when the whole city is on fire.

Trump used Jared Kushner as a back channel to Corrupt leaders like Putin, Netanyahu, MBS etc. Although the CIA investigations of Kushner said no to a Security Clearance for Jared Kushner Americans now know why Trump hid his Demand that Kushner get favouritism & Security Clearance

I guess instead of hearing Lock HER UP this Presidential Election between DonaldJTrumpJr unsecured phones & Ivanka - Jareds unsecured Emails we'll be hearing LOCK THEM UP

.

Everything about Kushner raises security concerns. Whatsapp is just the latest

WhatsApp? Christ, has been using Snapchat as well? When they don’t even try to hide it ..

He is a Traitor, please use proper descriptors going forward...

Let me know when Jared deletes 33k emails and has a personal server in his basement for use in government business.

The MSM will cover it for 15 mins & then spend hours predicting who will win an election almost 2 years away.

People sneezing causes security concerns.

EVERYTHING about Kushner raises security concerns. Pay attention.

Like how he has a top secret security clearance and access to every state secret? And how using unsecured comm leaves him open to any and everyone to read those state secrets or TS info? Security concerns level 10.

Why Hillary said it was okay...

as it should

But it’s not Hillary so who cares?

It's a bit late now, isn't it?

Lock him up?

seanhannity some security issues for ya.

Or may be they already have all the data. Hackers are a sneaky enemy. And we already saw what happened in the past Presidential elections.

BUTTERY MALES!

Also the fact that he couldn't get a security clearance without Trump intervening, that he frequently requested classified material, and that the Saudis claim Kushner is in their pocket...those also raise security concerns.

No it doesn’t. It’s the digital equivalent of leaving a Manila folder with sensitive information under a park bench for his Russian baby named Olga to “find”. Lick him up.

How can he retain a TS with this going on? Someone needs to investigate. The GOP was all up in arms about Clinton's use of a private email serve, they should be just as upset when Kushner does it. Either that or the entire GOP are hypocrites.

Some nerd at WhatsApp is probably reading their conversation.

Hillary sent classified information from her basement

KUSHNER raises security concerns that's why he wasn't supposed to get a security clearance
