Owned by the Portland, Oregon-based software company Smarsh Inc., TeleMessage allows users to archive messages from the encrypted apps Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram.<\/p>\n<p>Waltz was captured sending messages on the app by a Reuters photographer, and apparently included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and other Cabinet members in his message history.<\/p>\n<p>A hacker breached TeleMessage, stealing contents of some direct messages and group chat messages, the technology news site 404 Media reported Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpon detection, we acted quickly to contain it and engaged an external cybersecurity firm to support our investigation,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cOut of an abundance of caution, all TeleMessage services have been temporarily suspended. All other Smarsh products and services remain fully operational.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company didn\u2019t respond to questions seeking additional details.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump team\u2019s use of Signal provoked an uproar in March after the Atlantic revealed that Waltz had inadvertently added its editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, to a Signal group chat to discuss plans to attack Houthi rebels in Yemen. That episode was believed to have played a role in President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to remove Waltz as his top national-security aide and nominate him as ambassador to the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2025 Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-post=\"822603\">\n<div class=\"article-poll-vote\">\n<p>Was this article valuable?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-poll-more-articles\">\n<p class=\"thank-you-text\">Here are more articles you may enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<h4>The most important insurance news,in your inbox every business day.<\/h4>\n<p>Get the insurance industry\u2019s trusted newsletter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TeleMessage, the message-archiving app that former National Security Adviser Michael Waltz appeared to be using in a photograph of him communicating with other Trump administration officials, is investigating whether hackers exploited its technology.
