UNN reports with reference to Wired and ABC.

The US National Security Advisor left his account open and the names of his contacts publicly available, allowing any application user to view them. 

The Venmo account under the name "Mike Waltz", which contains a profile photo of the National Security Advisor and is linked to accounts containing the names of people closely associated with him, was open to the public until Wednesday, March 26.

The Venmo account contains a list of friends of 328 people. The list includes accounts with the names of people closely associated with Waltz, such as Barrett, former Deputy Chief of Staff Waltz when the current US National Security Advisor was a member of the House of Representatives, and Mika Thomas Ketchel, a former member of the US House of Representatives. There is also one that probably belongs to Susie Wiles, the head of the White House staff.

Wired also confirmed that Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, his right-hand man in the White House, also opened his contact list to the public.

Scandal involving a representative of The Atlantic in a chat of military officials

Earlier, The Atlantic reported that an account under the name "Michael Waltz" accidentally invited the editor-in-chief of the publication, Jeffrey Goldberg, to a chat in which senior administration officials discussed plans to strike Yemen. Through an encrypted messaging application that, according to the instructions of the Ministry of Defense, is prohibited from being used to discuss any non-public defense information, the group discussed whether to strike at all. Several hours after information about missile targets, the time of the strike, and other extremely sensitive operational details of the future strike appeared in the account under the name of Minister of Defense Pete Hegset.

Let us remind you

Mike Waltz admitted to creating a chat in Signal, where the editor of The Atlantic accidentally ended up. He assured that the information was not secret, but regrets the publicity.

The Atlantic revealed the details of the US strikes on Yemen from a closed Signal chat of Trump's advisors. This happened after criticism of the administration regarding the leak of information.
