Signal says it is 'gold standard' for encrypted messaging, despite claims of vulnerabilities
Signal says reports that its app has vulnerabilities are not 'accurate'

As reports continue to come out about President Donald Trump's administration’s use of Signal, the company issued a statement Tuesday to clear the air, saying its software is "the gold standard for private, secure communications."
On Monday, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief revealed that he was inadvertently included on a messaging chain of senior Trump officials that discussed plans for a forthcoming strike on the Houthis in Yemen.
The report has been harshly criticized, with news outlets like NPR reporting that "a vulnerability" was identified in the messenger application, suggesting Russian professional hacking groups employ devices to spy on encrypted conversations.
In response to NPRs report, Signal said the claim that there are "vulnerabilities" in Signal is not accurate.
