A serious flaw in TM SGNL, a messaging app by US-Israeli firm TeleMessage used by former Trump administration officials, has been exploited, exposing sensitive communications and backend data. The breach compromised the platform’s core security claims, raising concerns about the encryption model and the security of high-level communications. The vulnerability was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list, with a three-week deadline for federal agencies to address the issue.
