Article plainly states it was signal, not that that is much better
No matter what the protocol is, the chat is completely vulnerable once a single chat member’s phone gets infiltrated. There’s not a set of higher value targets in the world than the US president and his cabinet for actors like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and even Israel.

No shit. I was just correcting them on the confidently incorrect assumption they made without even skimming the article.
I did read the article but saw several mentions of texting, I was under the impression Signal was just another texting app.
You know sms is a type of texting but you don’t know Signal? Interesting. It’s an end to end encrypted chat app.
