App used by Trump adviser says it is temporarily suspending services following reported hack

The communications app used by US President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, Mike Waltz, says it is temporarily suspending services following a reported hack that exposed some of its messages.

In an email, Portland, Oregon-based Smarsh, which runs the TeleMessage app, said it was "investigating a potential security incident" and was suspending all its services "out of an abundance of caution."
