there appears to have been a pretty wild breach of @theintercept.com's tipline on signal if it's true that they've known about it and covered it up, that's a horrendous breach of trust, idk how you fix that

A screenshot of a social media post on X by @ryangrim. The main post reads:
"🚨 Months ago, The Intercept lost control of its Signal tip line to an unknown third party, which has been operating it actively.

The Intercept recently learned of the breach and posted the innocuous-sounding update below, chalking up a change in the Signal account username to 'security best practices.'

In reality, it's a devastating operational security collapse and The Intercept should publicly address it so that sources who may have been trying to leak to the outlet understand they may have been compromised.

Please share this post so potential sources become aware of the risk they may have been duped into. Details below:"

Embedded within this post is a quoted post from The Intercept (@theintercept), dated June 30, which reads:
"In keeping with security best practices, we have updated our Signal tip line. If you want to contact The Intercept, please get in touch with our reporters individually or use the Signal account Theintercept_tips.01. Please do not use the username TheIntercept.01."

The bottom of the screenshot shows the main post's timestamp as 12:18 PM • Jul 2, 2026, with 162.4K Views.

Won't be long until reporters have to meet leakers in parking garages again. Just like the good old days.

well if you know a whistleblower or insider who was leaking and you were thinking "gosh they haven't been online recently must've gone to ground" I guess you can be reassured they've gone to ground just not in the manner you were hoping that's just great. absolutely incredible. the total disregard
