Messaging App Used by Trump Official Hacked, Raising Security Concerns

The TeleMessage app, a modified version of the Signal messaging platform used by Trump officials, has reportedly been hacked, prompting it to suspend operations. This incident raises significant security concerns as the app is known to archive messages for U.S. government officials. Mike Waltz, a former national security advisor, was photographed using the less-secure app shortly before his removal from office. The breach, which occurred within 30 minutes, may have resulted in stolen data, exacerbating the security situation for the Trump administration. As investigations continue, questions linger regarding the implications of using such compromised technology for sensitive communications.
