John Kelly's personal cellphone was compromised, White House believes

quote [ White House tech support discovered the suspected breach after Kelly turned his phone in to tech support staff this summer.

White House officials believe that chief of staff John Kelly’s personal cellphone was compromised, potentially as long ago as December, according to three U.S. government officials.

The discovery raises concerns that hackers or foreign governments may have had access to data on Kelly’s phone while he was secretary of Homeland Security and after he joined the West Wing. ]

Might account for some of the leaks. These guys should just use burner phones, get a new one every few days.

No more selfies on the white house tour.

If only he had used a private email server.

Considering how concerned he was about a private email server that wasn't compromised, I can only imagine how much Trump will obsess over this. Surely.

Wasn't known to have been compromised, because the security on it was so bad there was no way to know if it had been. A bad idea is a bad idea is a bad idea, no matter which party the idiot belongs to.
