TeleMessage, a company that makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, was hacked.
A hacker has breached and stolen customer data from TeleMessage, an obscure Israeli company that sells modified versions of Signal and other messaging apps to the U.S. government to archive messages, 404 Media has learned.
The data stolen by the hacker contains the contents of some direct messages and group chats sent using its Signal clone, as well as modified versions of WhatsApp, Telegram, and WeChat.
TeleMessage was recently the center of a wave of media coverage after Mike Waltz accidentally revealed he used the tool in a cabinet meeting with Trump.

You can use Signal’s own backup to archive, albeit with third-party tool. It works damn well and it only takes few lines of code to automate.

Wait so does this mean that someone in the admin who was involved in setting this up at least thought about complying with archive laws?
You don’t give a murderer credit for not littering because they pick up their spent brass afterward. They’ve got other motivations.
