Details

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

A Venmo account under the name "Mike Waltz," which includes a profile picture 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 has a friends list of 328 people. The list includes accounts with the names of people closely associated with Waltz, such as Barrett, Waltz's former deputy chief of staff 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 is likely to belong to Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff.

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

Scandal involving The Atlantic representative in military officials' chat

Earlier, The Atlantic reported that an account named "Michael Waltz" accidentally invited the publication's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, to a chat where senior administration officials were discussing plans for a strike on Yemen. Through an encrypted messaging application, which, according to Department of Defense instructions, is prohibited for discussing any non-public defense information, the group discussed whether to launch a strike at all. This happened a few hours after information about missile targets, strike timing, and other extremely sensitive operational details of the upcoming strike appeared in an account named after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Recall

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

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