A security breach in an unofficial version of the encrypted messaging app Signal has raised concerns about the vulnerability of communications within the highest levels of the US government, according to a report by tech site 404 Media.
The app, TeleMessage, which mimics Signal's functionality, was reportedly used by former National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, as indicated by a Reuters photograph showing him using the app during a cabinet meeting. The vulnerability exploited by the hacker highlights potential security risks associated with using unofficial communication platforms for sensitive government discussions.
