Mike Waltz's Venmo Friends List Was Public...Until Reporters Told Him
Elephant in the room - I know the photo has nothing to do with the post. BUT it makes me laugh and so here we are,
To the topic at hand: Venmo.
Let's all go back in time to happier times, when Joe Biden was President and Matt Gaetz was caught making payments on Venmo to women for sex (reportedly).
Well, apparently Republicans have still never learned about how valuable it is to make your friends list PRIVATE. Not just so you can pay for sex, but so your friends won't be susceptible to blackmail or being honeytrapped because they know you! Personally!
Wired is reporting that numerous White House high level cabinet members have venmo accounts WITH public friends list.
First up, Signalgate leader, Mike Waltz. Profile photo is a match. He is also the National Security Advisor. Well, his account was left PUBLIC until Wednesday, when a Wired reporter contacted him to ask about it. When they reviewed his friends list, it showed "the names of hundreds of Waltz’s personal and professional associates, including journalists, military officers, lobbyists, and others—information a foreign intelligence service or other actors could exploit for any number of ends, experts say."
oops.
