#TeleMessage, that app used by the #Trump administration to archive Signal messages, has been #hacked. The #hacker managed to get some users' #Signal group chats and messages too. This is a hugely significant #breach not just for those individual customers, but also for the U.S. government more widely.

Ah, it seems #TeleMessage (the company behind that Signal fork called TM SGNL, used by Mike Waltz and possibly more members of the Trump administration) has woken up and blocked access to the source zips for their iOS and Android apps. Until yesterday they were publicly available at https://www.telemessage.com/developer/api-libraries/# now that page is gone.
Signal is AGPLv3 licensed, so hiding the sources could very well be a license violation. Oops.
