Nobody should be surprised. Trump was known to be careless like this in his first term; he has now surrounded himself with cretins who think national security is just something you use to beat up your enemies. Signalgate, where a journo was included on a real time attack briefing, was not an accident but a symptom of how feckless these people are. You know the Israelis practically invented cell phone hacking — read all about it in Chasing Shadows by the man who runs the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto.
Alisa Valdes Rodriguez has been investigating Ghislaine Maxwell's father Robert, an Israeli spy, who Valdes contends sold bugged equipment to our National Labs in New Mexico decades ago. As you say, if you're naive enough to leave the window open, the Israelis will be listening. (Ghislaine and Epstein later built Zorro Ranch in a remote area of NM and apparently trafficked girls there.)
If you believe that Qarari jet "gift" to Trump will be completely debugged, I have a bridge to sell you.
EVERYBODY'S listening in. 😣

Wow. Just wow. And who else might be listening?
The Russians are a safe bet, that's why the Ukrainians are no longer sharing their intelligence with the US.

Sure, it's a kakistocracy, but to really define it, I'd call it a fascistic oligarchy.
Why is this news? Israel spied on the US; the US spied on Israel, going back to the 1940s.
