Just a moment...
President Trump reportedly picks up when his cell rings even if he doesn't know who's calling. Senior members of his team also love chatting on their personal devices.
That makes the administration uniquely vulnerable to basic scams like spoofed calls and impersonation attempts.
If Trump is willing to answer unknown numbers, as The Atlantic reported this week, there's no guarantee a scammer, impersonator, or even a foreign intelligence operative couldn't have a chat with the president.
Considering you can spoof caller id this means you basically only need two phone numbers to potentially infiltrate the federal government.
