Yesterday, I published an analysis of what I could publicly find about TM SGNL, the obscure and unofficial Signal app used by Mike Waltz, and presumably also by Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and other fascists in Trump’s government. Afterwards, someone privately sent me the URL https://www.telemessage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Signal.zip.

        The government is buying it. And cryptocurrency companies. That’s a lot of money and a lot of eyes.

            Yeah. That’s the story.

            We need to ensure the government only uses open source tools and we need more funding for security audits.
