What Would Tina Say? Cyber Security Challenge Spokesperson Speaks Out

April Fools' came early this year as top Trump administration officials failed the Cyber Security Challenge 2025 yesterday by conducting sensitive war operations via the cutting-edge platform known as... a group chat. The DoD’s Cybersecurity Awareness Challenge Representative, Tina, was flabbergasted that our nation’s elite defenders did not learn the lessons from the beloved Cybersecurity Challenge. “WTF!,” Tina exclaimed. "What the f--- do we have to do to get you folks to understand you don't use your damn cell phone for secret s---?!"

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz demonstrated their mastery of operational security by accidentally adding The Atlantic's Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg to their "Houthi PC small group" on Signal. The group shared detailed military plans for airstrikes in Yemen, complete with target information, weapons packages, and attack timing—information that Goldberg described as sending "a chill down my spine."

When questioned about the security breach, Hegseth, who had previously assured the chat participants that "we are currently clean on OPSEC," responded with characteristic confidence: "Nobody was texting war plans, and that's all I have to say about that." This clear statement came right on the heels of the White House confirming the messages were authentic. Great check on integrity, Pete!
