22-05-2025 11:02 AM


Ammon News - Reuters revealed in an investigation that the TeleMessage communication platform was subjected to a cyberattack earlier this month, targeting the data of several of its users, including Mike Waltz, former National Security Advisor to US President Donald Trump.

Some of the hacked messages included information related to the movements of high-level government officials, including travel plans for US officials to the Vatican and Jordan, Reuters noted.

Based on its limited review, Reuters did not uncover anything that appeared to be clearly sensitive, nor did it reveal conversations with Waltz or other government officials, some of the conversations appear to relate to travel plans for senior government officials.

According to information obtained by Reuters from an American organization specializing in archiving leaked documents, the hacked database contained information for more than 60 unique government users. These included emergency response teams, Customs officials, diplomats, a White House staffer, and members of the Secret Service.

Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump announced the dismissal of Mike Waltz from his position as National Security Advisor and his appointment as Ambassador to the United Nations, followed the inadvertent leak of sensitive information published in a Signal group in March regarding military attacks on the Houthi group in Yemen. The information was mistakenly passed to a journalist.
