It appears the DNC hack finally managed to get Hillary Clinton to get serious about security.

Hillary Clinton said Edward Snowden should be “facing the music” for revealing NSA secrets, but her campaign has no problem with using a “Snowden-approved” encrypted messaging app, a report said.
An individual close to the DNC and the Clinton campaign said that, following the release of hacked DNC emails, staffers were told to use “Signal” when privately discussing Donald Trump, according to a recent report by Vanity Fair...
Signal, an app for Android and iPhone, is considered by leading security experts, including Snowden, to be the “gold standard for end-to-end encrypted communications.”
“Signal, staffers in the meeting were told, was ‘Snowden-approved,’” Bilton wrote. “A week after the meeting at the campaign headquarters, according to two people who have worked with the DNC and the Clinton campaign, an e-mail was sent out instructing staffers where to download the app and how to use it.”

They actually said ‘Snowden-approved'. If Hillary ever gives another press conference, I would love for someone to ask her about that.
The irony doesn't stop there.

During the second Democratic debate, Clinton called for a “Manhattan-like project” to expose any encrypted communication, yet her own campaign is using the same encryption technology she wants to stop others from accessing.
Who popularized it? Edward Snowden. “I use Signal everyday,” he tweeted in November 2015.

In closely related news, FBI Director James Comey shed many tears because the DNC and Clinton campaign was using Snowden-approved encryption.

FBI Director James Comey warned again Tuesday about the bureau's inability to access digital devices because of encryption and said investigators were collecting information about the challenge in preparation for an "adult conversation" next year.
Widespread encryption built into smartphones is "making more and more of the room that we are charged to investigate dark," Comey said in a cybersecurity symposium.

Oh wait. He's only complaining about commoners like you and me using encryption. My bad.

On a personal note, I use Signal on my cell phone. It's seamless for encrypted calls and texting.
