If you pay attention to surveillance or cybersecurity, you've probably heard of Signal since the election, right? It's an encrypted messaging app, and it's popularity has climbed in the wake of a new presidential administration that looks like it will favor increased surveillance. It's one of those no-brainer downloads for anyone concerned about privacy.
Which is why it's just perhaps maybe a little eyebrow-raising that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who will advise President Donald Trump on the nation's cybersecurity policy, only recently heard of it.
SEE ALSO:Trump finally gives Rudy Giuliani a job ... kind ofAccording to The Wall Street Journal, he's had Signal for a few weeks after one of his "cybersecurity experts" downloaded it for him. The man helping shape the future of the nation's cybersecurity couldn't even be bothered to download an encrypted messaging app.
Giuliani's only relevant experience, if you can call it that, includes a cybersecurity subdivision of his management consulting firm, Giuliani Partners. That subdivision, known as Giuliani Security and Safety, offers only vague services related to the firm's supposed expertise in areas such as "forensic accounting" and "security design and architecture." The site doesn't list its cyber clients, and most of its work seems to be related to advising law enforcement in other nations.
I'd tell you to go check it out for yourself, but the website is down as of this writing.
