TeleMessage, the communications app used by former Trump national security adviser Mike Waltz, has temporarily suspended services following a reported hack. The hack, confirmed by 404 Media, exposed some user messages. The suspension comes after Waltz's controversial use of the app, including accidentally adding a journalist to a group chat about Yemen military action. Waltz was subsequently dismissed from his post and nominated for a UN ambassadorship. Smarsh, the Oregon-based company behind TeleMessage, is investigating the security incident.
