410GB of TeleMessage Heap Dumps Leaked: Unveiling the Secret Communications of Politicians and Business Elites

DDoSecrets leaked 410GB of heap dump data from TeleMessage, an Israeli company, revealing communications from disaster responders, customs officials, US diplomats, White House staff, and Secret Service members. A trivial vulnerability allowed anyone to download Java heap dumps from the server. Analysis shows the data includes chat logs from various platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal, some encrypted but much of it unencrypted, containing text messages, attachments, and metadata. Researchers identified thousands of TeleMessage customers, including major corporations from finance, energy, and other sectors, such as JPMorgan Chase and Scotiabank. While no extremely sensitive information has yet surfaced, the dataset offers numerous leads potentially sparking further investigations and news stories.
