Newly surfaced photographs reveal top White House officials, including former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, are using a modified version of the Signal app called TM SGNL. This modified app, unlike standard Signal, allows message archiving, potentially compromising end-to-end encryption. The images show communication between Waltz, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others. This raises national security concerns, particularly given a previous incident where Waltz accidentally included a journalist in a sensitive group chat. The White House claims Signal is an approved app, but the modified version's security remains questionable.
