EU officials and diplomats lack a unified and secure way of talking to each other. The rise of telework in the Corona crisis shows a need to upgrade communications systems, says an internal report.
While the EU Commission has asked staff to use Signal for messaging, the External Action Service is rolling out a bespoke app. But it refuses to share any details about it.
EU-Diplomaten rund um die Welt verwenden seit einigen Monaten eine eigene Messenger-App für vertrauliche Kommunikation. Das Außenamt der EU möchte darüber aber möglichst wenig verraten.
