特朗普总统:我认为将非机密信息分享给记者没有问题,如果是机密信息则情况不同。 弗吉尼亚州参议员马克·沃纳:没有在该聊天中分享机密材料。 拉斐尔·萨特:Signal 应用拥有良好的声誉,被广泛认为是加密消息的黄金标准,但其运行的设备安全并非绝对。关于机密事项的安全的对话应该通过机密系统进行,这些系统虽然并不完美,但经过仔细审查以确保不会被外国行为者入侵。使用Signal等公开应用程序讨论机密材料,可能是在非机密系统上进行的,这引发了争议。使用Signal等应用进行沟通,政府官员可能没有按照法律要求保存通讯记录。 A.J. Vicenz:一个与中国相关的秘密网络正在试图从最近被解雇的美国政府工作人员那里收集情报。这些公司可能会以撰写论文或做演讲为由,逐步获取前政府雇员的信息,甚至可能涉及到敲诈勒索。 中国大使馆发言人:否认参与相关招聘活动,并表示不会要求任何人违反当地法律收集境外信息。 FBI:中国情报和安全部门积极地将现任、前任和未来的美国政府雇员作为目标,以获取敏感信息。 白宫发言人:中国一直在试图通过间谍活动和胁迫来利用美国的自由和开放的体系。现任和前任政府雇员都必须认识到这些政府构成的危险以及保护政府信息的重要性。 Hamdan Bilal:我在以色列定居者的袭击中受伤并被捕。 Carmel Crimmins:英国经济增长放缓,给财政大臣带来压力,她可能需要宣布削减支出计划。预计将削减福利支出,这在政治上将非常不受欢迎。
