During the Trump administration, a group chat was used to coordinate military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. In a surprising turn of events, Jeffrey Goldberg from *The Atlantic* was accidentally included in this chat. On March 15th, the group chat shared details of the attack plan, including weapons packages, targets, and timing, hours before the strikes began. Pete Hegseth, then secretary of defense, inadvertently texted Goldberg the plan at 11:44 a.m..

The story highlights a casual and potentially insecure method of communicating sensitive military information.
