- Reposted by georgia 🏴It will get lost in the torrent, but hard to overstate how scandalous this is. The national security advisor was communicating via a jerry-rigged version of an encrypted app that *functionally removed the encryption*, meaning an Israeli company could read all his texts. Throw in the towel, folks.
- Despite misleading marketing, Israeli company TeleMessage, used by Trump officials, can access plaintext chat logs. My findings are based on TM SGNL's source code, and they are corroborated by hacked data micahflee.com/despite-misl...
