Mike Waltz, former national security adviser under Trump, was ousted after a messaging app he used was hacked, leading to the exposure of sensitive data. More than 60 officials, including those from the White House and Secret Service, had their information accessed through TeleMessage, an Israeli app designed for archiving messages. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in secure communication channels and has ongoing ramifications, as the White House acknowledged the breach without offering further details, revealing a significant cybersecurity challenge.
The app's archiving capabilities essentially nullified any security protections offered, as it allowed unauthorized access to sensitive information from numerous Trump officials.
More than 60 government officials had their data accessed from TeleMessage, including State Department staff, White House members, and even Secret Service agents.
