    Signal is still secure. If it wasn’t it wouldn’t be used in Military applications.

        In the US government organizations are trying to protect themselves from each other and themselves. (Its messy)

        Not to say that Signal is perfect (its not) but if the DoD recommends it and has guidance on how to harden it then it can’t be to bad.
