"On Thursday Reuters published a photograph of Waltz checking his mobile phone during a cabinet meeting held by Donald Trump. The screen appears to show messages from various top level government officials, including JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and Marco Rubio.
At the bottom of Waltz’s phone’s screen is a message that looks like Signal’s regular PIN verification message. This sometimes appears to encourage users to remember their PIN, which can stop people from taking over their account.
But the message is slightly different: it asks Waltz to verify his “TM SGNL PIN.” This is not the message that is displayed on an official version of Signal.
Instead TM SGNL appears to refer to a piece of software from a company called TeleMessage which makes clones of popular messaging apps but adds an archiving capability to each of them. A page on TeleMessage’s website tells users how to install “TM SGNL.” On that page, it describes how the tool can “capture” Signal messages on iOS, Android, and desktop."

"It is remarkable to what great lengths Hegseth went to use the Signal app, because as defense secretary he has his own communications center which is specialized in keeping him in contact with anyone he wants. This center is commonly called SecDef Cables and is part of Secretary of Defense Communications (SDC) unit.
SecDef Cables provides operational information management and functions as a command and control support center. It is staffed by 26 service members and 4 civilians. They provide "comprehensive voice, video, and data capabilities to the secretary and his immediate staff, regardless of their location, across multiple platforms and classifications."
Furthermore, SecDef Cables serves as a liaison to the National Military Command Center (NMCC), the White House Situation Room, the State Department Operations Center and similar communication centers. Finally, Cables manages the connections for the Defense Telephone Link (DTL), which is a lower-level hotline with military counterparts in about 25 countries, including Russia and China."

Nein, @tagesschau. Die Beteiligten der #Signal-Affäre haben keinen "Fehler begangen", sondern Gesetze gebrochen. Das ist wie Diebstahl. Das ist kein "Fehler", sondern eine Straftat.

Rare #infosec work post - these idiots weren't even using the actual #Signal? But rather some dubious commercial? fork that adds archiving? And doesn't that defeat the entire design of Signal in the first place? I don't know anything about this bastardized whatever but strongly suspect it can't be trusted.

Mike Waltz Accidentally Reveals Obscure App the Government Is Using to Archive Signal Messages | Sigh, but at least I suppose they are shooting in the right direction…
A photograph of Trump administration official Mike Waltz’s phone shows him using an unofficial version of Signal designed to archive messages during a cabinet meeting.
I have been gently trying to steer family and friends in the direction of Signal as a replacement to WhatsApp.
The American Govt have totally scuppered me. Dad thinks Signal is some dodgy insecure app for losers.

On the Day He Was Fired as National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz Used an Israeli App to Archive Signal Messages
A #tech company with ties to Israeli intelligence, TeleMessage’s riskier app appears to be favored by Trump’s national security team.

"During Wednesday’s meeting for #Trump’s cabinet, Mike Waltz checked the app on his phone, using what appeared to be Signal. As news broke that #Waltz had lost his job as National Security Advisor, images from the cabinet meeting circulated widely online on Thursday. Upon closer inspection of the photos, it turned out that Waltz was not using the traditional #Signal app. He appeared to be using an archiving app made by #Israeli firm TeleMessage, which sells companion apps meant to enable archiving messages."

Nein - Signal lässt Deine MetaDaten genauso sammeln, wie WhatsApp es tut! Beide male landen sie in den USA! Du musst nur endlich mal realisieren, das die Datensammelei bei der #Signalapp komplett "outgesourced" ist! Was #Signal sagt und die 4 IT Riesen machen sind 2 unterschiedliche paar Schuhe!
