USA Customs and Border Protection confirmed Wednesday that it used at least one communications app created by the service telematics ceremony that created clones of popular applications such as signals and whatsapp, and added an add-on archiving mechanism to comply with records-keeping rules.

"After the cyber incident was discovered, the CBP immediately used telecommunications as a preventive measure," CBP spokesman Rhonda Lawson told Wired. "An investigation into the scope of the violation is underway."

Donald Trump’s current former national security adviser Mike Waltz took a photo last week using telematics at a cabinet meeting, which appears to indicate he is communicating with other senior officials, including JD Vance, vice president of the NIA Tulsi Gabbard, and appears to be U.S. secretary in Marco Rubio, U.S. state.

Since the publication of the photos, telecommunications has reportedly suffered a series of violations that illustrate relevant security flaws. Analysis of the app's Android source code also seems to indicate fundamental flaws in the service's security plan. With the discoveries emerging, Telemessage, an Israeli company that completed the acquisition of the U.S. company, Smarsh, and stopped its services in a pending investigation of its products.

"Telemessage is investigating potential security incidents. After discovery, we took swift action to control it and supported our investigation with external cybersecurity companies," a Smarsh spokesperson said in a statement Monday. "All remote service services have been temporarily suspended out of prudence. All other Smarsh products and services remain in full operation."

In a recent breach, some data stole some data from Telemessage, suggesting that CBP may be a customer.

In a letter Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden called on the Justice Department to investigate remote services and accused the service of "a serious threat to U.S. national security." Telemessage is a federal contractor, but the consumer applications it provides are not approved for use under the U.S. government’s federal risk and authorization management program or FEDRAMP. Wyden mentioned in the letter that “several federal agencies” use remote services and asserted that the company “sold dangerous unsafe communication software to the White House and other federal agencies.”

There is still no full public accounting for U.S. government officials and agencies using the software.
