Signalgate leaker Pete Hegseth just handed a multimillion-dollar contract to protect the Defense Department from hackers to a firm that allegedly couldn’t even protect its own employees from having their data stolen.
The Defense Secretary came under fire last year for disclosing sensitive details of U.S. military strikes to a journalist who’d been accidentally added to a group chat on Signal.
Hegseth used the messaging app, which is not approved for official government communications, with other top members of Donald Trump’s cabinet, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
