Noem says cell phone was hacked, blames Jan. 6 panel
The Hill ^ | 01-24-2023 | INES KAGUBARE

Posted on 01/24/2023 9:14:42 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) said on Monday that her personal cell phone number “has been hacked and used to make hoax calls.”

Noem said her phone was hacked following the release of her and her family’s personal information, including her social security number, by the House Jan. 6 committee.

“Callous mishandling of personal information has real world consequences,” Noem said in a statement. “If you get such a phone call from my number, know that I had no involvement.”

Noem said she has asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Congress to investigate the leak.

Earlier this month, nearly 2,000 Social Security numbers of former President Trump’s closest allies, including Cabinet members and Republican governors, were inadvertently disclosed in a spreadsheet that the committee posted along with a number of other records. The document has since been taken down.

inadvertently disclosed

Oh sure, rats don’t do anything inadvertently. /s

Everything they do is pre-planned, focus grouped and
generally done with malice aforethought.

Yeah, I’m sure Garland will get right to the bottom of this.

How does the phone system ALLOW someone to identify their call with a phone number not their own? The FIRST TIME you get caught doing that you should be cancelled.

This is called terrorism. Those who do not fall in line with Leftists will be terrorized until they either comply or are eliminated.

Probably not hacked, but spoofed which is simple to do.

The incompetence of the Committee manifests itself.

“were inadvertently disclosed”

Ah, yes, “inadvertently”, of course.

Because Caller ID was never designed as some secure system. It basically works on the honor system. You tell whatever phone you are calling who you are, and that’s what gets displayed.

The Dems sure are nasty and corrupt. Hopefully the GOP doesn’t play nice with them.

Scary to think of what the CIA and NSA can do nowadays. If only they could stop the car warranty calls.
