Hot Take:
Looks like TeleMessage’s encryption was about as effective as using a colander to carry water. Everything leaks! Who knew a messaging app used by top brass could end up being about as secure as a postcard in the cyber world? It’s time for federal agencies to patch things up before more secrets spill out faster than you can say “unsecured backend”.
