Trump Admin’s Signal Clone Hacked: Security Breach Exposes Hypocrisy
A hacker compromised TeleMessage, an Israeli firm providing modified messaging apps to U.S. government agencies, resulting in the theft of customer data. Stolen data includes direct messages and group chats from modified Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, and WeChat clients, exposing vulnerabilities in the archiving process. The breach impacted various clients, including Customs and Border Protection and Coinbase, highlighting a lack of end-to-end encryption between the modified apps and TeleMessage’s servers. While high-level officials’ messages weren’t accessed, the incident demonstrates significant security flaws.
