The messaging app TeleMessage has suspended its services following reported data theft from its platform. The company is investigating the incident with cybersecurity experts. Notably, former national security adviser Mike Waltz was seen using an unauthorized version of the app known as TM Signal, which allowed archiving of communications and undermined the appâs encryption. This incident raises concerns over the security measures of TeleMessage, especially given that the app's features may provide a false sense of security to users.
"TeleMessage is investigating a potential security incident. Upon detection, we acted quickly to contain it and engaged an external cybersecurity firm to support our investigation."
"Experts told WIRED that, by definition, TM Signal's archiving feature undermined the end-to-end encryption..."
