    This story just gets better and better. Not that anything will really be done about this. And no, Walz losing his position as National Security Advisor and being moved to the UN Ambassador post doesn't count.

    The hacker did not access all messages stored or collected by TeleMessage, but could have likely accessed more data if they decided to, underscoring the extreme risk posed by taking ordinarily secure end-to-end encrypted messaging apps such as Signal and adding an extra archiving feature to them.

    “If I could have found this in less than 30 minutes then anybody else could too. And who knows how long it’s been vulnerable?” the hacker said.
