The vibecoded one with blaring security holes?
No, silly.
The NEW vibe-coded one with Russian backdoors.
This white house app?
Ahahahahahaha
That app just became a national security threat. It gives out information to a non-government server. It can be exploited by foreign agents.
Just a reminder to the president, this would include his own secret service detail and their location.
Treason?
Thank you but I’m trying to quit.
When it’s not working, it’s working.
HELLO EMPLOYEE, TODAY WE FIGHT THR WOKE LIBRULS. MAKE SURE YOU GET TO THE KID ROCK CONCERT AND MMA MATCH ON TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!
Following the playbook to a tee
Eventually everyone is going to have to own two phones, one for “official” work and government stuff, and one for actual privacy.
This is strictly for government-issued devices. So everyone that is subject to this is already carrying two phones.
for now!
or do you prefer:
so far!
Whatever gets you through the day without getting blackout drunk
So like the phones of his secret service detail? I’m waiting for it to be announced that it’ll be bundled into the Trump phone.
For what it’s worth, I saw that it had been installed on my government issued phone this morning and was able to simply uninstall it.
Some people won’t have admin control rights to do that. And by uninstalling it you are in violation of an executive order.
I also ignored the DOGE emails last year and I’m still around. I’m honestly not the least bit concerned.
You’d probably win a suit for the termination suit
Respectfully, I’ve been working in government for nearly 20 years. I know what my limits are and what I can get away with. I never signed any acknowledgement that I would keep the app on the phone. Worst case scenario and extremely unlikely to happen, they somehow notice it’s missing from my phone and ask me about it. “Oh, my bad. Didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to remove it.”
As I have one for work which is not my personal phone. And it is totally enterprise-managed so they put whatever apps they want on it and block anything they want. It’s their phone essentially. This headline seems like a nothingburger to me.
Of course! Employees shouldn’t be conducting business on their private phones anyway!
Or private stuff on company devices, for that matter
I’ve got my personal phone and a government-issued iPhone. The iPhone gets turned off as soon as I leave work in the evening and I turn it back on when I get to work. I only give out my work phone number, so I don’t get bothered when I’m off the clock. It’s pretty convenient tbh.
Maybe get a Faraday bag. That should have a Bluetooth beacon that operates even if powered off. 😁

I’m no Amazon fan, but these seem to work well.
As someone with a work phone, it’s easy for me to absolutely never use the thing. It stays in the office and I remote into my work machine and log into Google messages if I need to check for text. The rest is either accessible from other means or can wait until I’m in the office
This is a rage bait headline for the masses who don’t understand what it means to have a work-issued phone.
Not really. It’s still a massive security threat, even if you leave it in the office.
I suppose for some people it could be a security threat to leave their phone unattended, but if the office isn’t secure, none of their data is necessarily secure with physical access
…do you know what conversation you just jumped into? You seem…lost.
Yeah. I started it
Well I wasn’t talking about the phone being stolen as the threat. The phone is the threat.
Came here to say this.
Work phone for work use (they can load any and everything they want, not my phone)
Personal phone is mine and I control what is installed
