This is literally the message of 30 years of reporting on wiretap laws by @mattblaze @SteveBellovin Susan Landau and many others: designing these systems is exceptionally hard. That’s part of why the systems to handle classified data are so expensive. https://newsie.social/@bespacific/114451910633689677

#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. #natsec #nationalsecurity https://www.404media.co/the-signal-clone-the-trump-admin-uses-was-hacked/ #government #democracy #trump #hegseth

@adamshostack @mattblaze @SteveBellovin The Biden administration paid $2.1 mil for Telemessage, so it wasn't exactly cheap, either.
