Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials

The source code seems to have some hardcoded credentials in there, essentially making this a back door. The git repo also seems to have Israeli surveillance roots to it, which is troubling for any sort of top secret data.

If you read the blog post one day older than this one from before he got the code, he speaks more about the Israeli ties. The CEO for TeleMessage is former IDF.

I haven’t spent a lot of time looking into TeleMessage, but what I did find at a quick glance is that several of the executives on the teams page list Israeli universities in their bios, and the CEO, Guy Levit, says that, “From 1996 until 1999, Guy served as the head of the planning and development of one of the IDF’s Intelligence elite technical units.”

  You’ve got to be more clear about serving in the IDF. Luckily your quote gives more detail, but literally every Israeli citizen has to serve in the IDF, so former service in the IDF doesn’t mean much more than just saying they’re Israeli.
