Congressman Calls For Probe Into Trump's Unsecured Android Phone (cnet.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNET: President Donald Trump regularly makes news because of his tweets. Now a congressman is making news because of the device the president reportedly uses to tweet. On Friday, Congressman Ted Lieu, a Democrat from Los Angeles, wrote a letter to the House Oversight Committee requesting an investigation into Trump's cybersecurity practices. In particular, he calls out Trump's apparent decision to keep using his personal Android phone instead of a secured phone the Secret Service issued him for his inauguration. The letter is also signed by 14 other members of Congress and calls for a public hearing to discuss the issues. "The device President Trump insists on using -- most likely the Samsung Galaxy S3 -- has particularly well documented vulnerabilities," the letter says. "The use of an unsecured phone risks the president of the United States being monitored by foreign or domestic adversaries, many of whom would be happy to hijack the president's prized Twitter account causing disastrous consequences for global security. Cybersecurity experts universally agree that an ordinary Android smartphone, which the president is reportedly using despite repeated warnings from the Secret Service, can be easily hacked."
On that note, I like how all the people here calling for Hillary to be gaoled for that email server are calling the same for Trump over his numerous security breaches. They are, right? I mean, they're not all stinking hypocrites, riiiiight?
SJW n. One who posts facts.
But Hillary "The Hildabeast" Clinton can run a private email server distributing classified information. She can funnel favors and access for "donations" (e.g. Bribes/Payoffs!) to the Clinton Foundation. The liberals can be as CORRUPT as they want to be but OMG! let anyone else do something similar and it's the worst thing in the world.
Liberals - STFU! Until you can clean up your OWN HOUSE - you don't have a FUCKING thing to say about anyone else.
What is it they say about people who live in glass houses????
BOTH sides are corrupt and controlled - get a life! People who don't see this are as dumb as horse shit and don't deserve to be allowed to vote!
The Truth is a Virus!!!
