Summary
Bundestag President Julia Klöckner (CDU) has urged German MPs to switch from Signal to the BSI-certified Wire messenger service, following phishing campaigns targeting politicians. Klöckner, herself a victim of a phishing attack, cites Wire's official certification from the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) as the primary reason. The Bundestag administration is actively promoting Wire as a more secure alternative to commercial platforms like WhatsApp and Signal.
