Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees and other federal workers are being mandated to install a new White House app that has raised alarms due to its origins in Russian software.
The app, which cost taxpayers $1.4 million, incorporates code from Elfsight, a company with ties to Russia, leading to questions about data security and federal approval processes.
Researchers have highlighted potential vulnerabilities associated with the app, emphasizing the need for thorough security assessments before deployment on government-issued devices.
