Have you ever accidentally sent a message to the wrong person? It happens to the best of us! Recently, U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz made a big oops when he accidentally added a journalist to a secret group chat. 📱💬
In this chat, important people like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance were talking about plans for strikes in Yemen. They were discussing really sensitive topics! But because of a mix-up, a journalist named Jeffrey Goldberg got added to the chat. 😯
When Mike Waltz realized what happened, he took responsibility for the mistake. He said, “I take full responsibility. I built the group; my job is to make sure everything’s coordinated.” He also mentioned that they are looking into how the mistake happened. 🔍
President Donald Trump talked about the situation, too. He said that no secret information was shared and that Mike Waltz is a good man who learned his lesson. He called the mistake a “glitch” and said it didn’t affect anything important. 👍
The journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg, was surprised when he got added to the chat. At first, he thought it might be a joke! But then he saw that the messages were real. 😲
Some people are worried about what happened. Senators are asking questions and want to make sure that secret information stays safe. They plan to look into how government officials use apps like Signal for messaging. 🕵️♀️
What do you think? Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person? This story shows that even grown-ups can make mistakes with technology! Let’s all be careful when we send messages. 😊
