Mike Waltz and controversy start going together for a while, as a new picture emerged, which shows the former National Security Advisor using a modified and low -safe version of the signal messaging app, TM SGNL, shows fresh security concerns.
Yesterday, US President Donald Trump removed Waltz from his post and nominated him for the United Nations Ambassador after the signal chat leak and now this picture pushed him into the vortex of controversy.
From April 30, the photos of Reuters captured Waltz’s phone screen, displaying conversations with several high -ranked officials, including JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard and Steve Vitcoff. These
Images were taken on one White House Cabinet Meeting In Washington DC on 30 April 2025. The modified application, TM SGNL, is developed by Telemage, a company that repeats messages applications with additional collection capabilities.
According to 404 media analysis, while this collection facility can help follow the President’s record-keeping requirements, it potentially compromises end-to-end encryption that secures standard signals, as messages can be recovered from storage.
The views in the photos were partial message material, including “Rubio” “time” and a message to read a “vance”, I confirmed from my counterpart that it has shut down. He is going to come here … “Screen also showed evidence of call to Gabbard and an 8am” PDB “meeting schedule.
Following these incidents, Trump on Thursday re -appointed Waltz in the position of the United Nations Ambassador, in which Rubio played the role of interim National Security Advisor. The White House official response stated that “signal is an approved app for government use and has been loaded on a government phone.”
