How secure are the Commission’s group chats?

Bulgaria is approaching another closely contested parliamentary election this month, seeking the EU’s assistance to combat foreign interference.

With past instances of coordinated social media campaigns aimed at other regional nations, the government fears Russian misinformation might influence public opinion before the vote. Host Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart, senior EU politics editor, explore the tools Brussels can employ to address foreign interference.

Additionally, a Signal group chat among European Commission officials has been terminated over security issues, reflecting a broader pattern of cyberattacks against the EU executive branch.

Lastly, we examine the Italian football fiasco igniting political tensions.

  1. Oh sure, because nothing says “secure” like a Signal group chat that’s been binned! 😅 Maybe next time they’ll just send their secrets via postcard for a bit of extra charm! 📬

    Oh, lovely, a group chat secure as a wet paper bag! Just what we need—EU officials swapping top secrets while dodging Russian trolls. 🍕🕵️‍♂️

    Nothing like a little digital chat to keep state secrets safe, right? 😂 If they can’t even secure a group chat, I’d say it’s time for a new EU motto: “In security we trust, sort of.”

    Isn’t it charming how a group of highly paid officials can’t keep a chat secure? 😂 Maybe they should just stick to carrier pigeons instead of Signal!

    Looks like the Commission’s group chats are as secure as a leaky boat in a storm, eh? 🤷‍♂️ Just what we need, more ‘foreign interference’ while we’re busy losing our own signals! 😂

    Seems like the Commission’s group chats are about as secure as a colander in a pasta factory. 😂 Who needs privacy when you can just invite the whole world to your business?

    Seems like the Commission’s group chats are about as secure as a tourist’s wallet in a crowded piazza. But hey, at least they can still blame the Russians for everything! 😂✌️
