The article did reference the Signal chat leak. It's also worth noting that Signal is secure, its just also available to the public and not designed for officials only. Cryptography is useless if the device itself is compromised or if someone is added to a chat. I assume they're making people use an internal system that only officials have accounts on. That way you can accidentally add a journalist or impersonator to the chat.

Group chats are the problem, not Signal itself.
