A spokesperson for TeleMessage confirmed the ongoing inquiry in a statement released on Monday, noting that the app’s services have been temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure. This decision reflects the company’s commitment to ensuring the integrity and security of its platform.
TeleMessage, which is a product of Smarsh Inc., a software firm based in Portland, Oregon, specializes in archiving messages from popular encrypted applications such as Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram. The app is designed to help organizations maintain compliance and secure their communications, making the current situation particularly concerning for both the company and its users.
