The Post’s anonymous sources claimed that White House staff managing the systems could not monitor the Starlink connection to prevent the leakage of sensitive information or unauthorized access. Its sources allege that a Wi-Fi network called “Starlink Guest” appeared on White House phones in February, prompting users only for a password, not a username or a second form of authentication. This Wi-Fi network was reportedly still present on White House visitors’ phones this week.

Knowing the absolute cabbages walking around that place, it’s probably a WiFi pineapple that will accept any password and is just intercepting all of the traffic.
