Does Mike Waltz use a hacking app that looks like a signal?

Former U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz may have used a torment message app similar to the signal, raising new concerns about the government’s highest level of secure communications. Tech website 404 media reported that Telemessage (a signal-based application that Waltz allegedly used at a cabinet meeting) was hacked by an unidentified person. The hacker claims to have accessed the app's backend and intercepted user messages by exploiting vulnerabilities.
Although information from Waltz or other Trump Cabinet members was reportedly not compromised, the violations reviewed Waltz’s communications. He was ousted a few weeks after his appearance, creating a signaling team that shared real-time updates to Yemen's U.S. military operations. The group caught the attention when news reporters unexpectedly increased.
Telemessage mimics the interface and features of signals, an encryption platform known for its powerful privacy protection. However, unlike signals, remote communication is to retain messages after decryption for compliance purposes, and if not implemented correctly, it can increase security risks.

A signal spokesman told Reuters that the company “cannot guarantee the privacy or security of unofficial versions of the signal.”

Telemessage has been renamed Capture Mobile by its parent company Smarsh, but has not responded to a request for comment. Reuters also cannot independently verify the hacker's claims.
