White House staffers are resorting to Confide an encrypted messaging app spurred by the airing of hacked Democratic e-mails.
In other words, by default the app deletes messages after they are read.
The app has become a craze among the reporters as well.
Suddenly popular among White House reporters: Confide, Yahoo Washington correspondent Oliver Knox tweeted on Tuesday.
The journalists username will have a blue checkmark next to it.
The function of this app is similar to that of Twitter.
Those blocks mean you have received a message but you havent opened it yet.
Its available for most platforms, including Mac, iOS, and Android.
This makes it difficult to screenshot or photograph the complete message.
Another reason is that they are worried that they will be charged for leaking emails to the media.
