The encrypted messaging app Signal has experienced a remarkable spike in downloads following a scandal involving the Trump administration. After a journalist was mistakenly added to a sensitive group chat, downloads surged by 26% on the day the news broke, reaching an all-time high of 195,000 by Wednesday. This increase is attributed to heightened curiosity about the app used by high-ranking officials. Despite dismissing the situation's seriousness, the incident has led to a significant rise in visibility for Signal, reinforcing the idea that 'all press is good press.'
