Funny how the USA went nuts and strong-armed other Western nations to outright ban Chinese hardware and companies due to “security concerns.” Yet allowed using a fork of Signal from a foreign nation, and those concerns were nowhere to be found. IOF is already known to be on par (if not better) with the USA in spying on and creating false flags globally. Yet the highest office chose to use it anyway. Which is beyond stupid given that a fork could have been made and ran by a USA company (or the NSA or whichever three letter agency) specifically for the same use. Hell those agencies already are and have been heavily funding the Signal Foundation.
So release the messages. Not that it matters what they said, absolutely nothing will happen except clicks for whoever reports on it.
But her emails!
Buttery Males!
The Signal Clone the Trump Admin Uses Was Hacked… by the zio company that made it.
Shockingly comes days after the leak that the service is being used by the dork team. Someone really really really wants to get these backups.
Daily reminder that end to end encryption only works when both ends are secure
Does that include making sure the people using it are not morons
Also reminder, the greatest security vulnerability in every peice of software is the end user
While I agree that social engineering and phishing are a major part of security vulnerabilities, let‘s not diminish the shoddy coding work of many companies out there that try to safe as much money as possible to please their shareholders by leaving out QA and ignoring or even threatening security researchers.
Wait they were using an unpublished fork of Signal?
No. It’s a wrapper around Signal that sends everything into a corporate cloud. The Isaraeli miltary/defense/espionage whatever have been using this, then sold it to a US company. I’m guessing the company provides wrappers around other apps as well.
It completely defeats the purpose of E2EE. I’m sure somebody told our oh-so-competent US government that’s exactly what they need.
Like, it’s actually worse than SignalGate.

Not at all suspicious. \s
So basically, they hacked themselves out of any benefit Signal was giving them, and then an external party finished the hack.
Goverment officials are required to archive all communications, so it doesn’t defeat the purposes of E2EE because you can’t have full E2EE to start with. If it was propely implemented and didn’t get hacked it would be fine. Tho I guess implementation wise if it really sends all the data to a corporate instead of government cloud that’s a problem as well.
If it was propely implemented and didn’t get hacked
If it was properly researched and approved by DoD and used on authorized, secure devices which were running on secured networks, it would be fine.
The baseline for security has been pretty decent for years. It’s painfully restrictive which is why they’re chomping at the bit to make it easier, but just slamming a corporate product into use with secret data with no oversight has never been fine even if it was secure.
They do provide wrappers for other apps too, I forget the name of the company but they provide them for WhatsApp, Telegram, and others.
well it’s published now….
the part where they’re a private company, keeping backups of top secret information… that’s only on there to avoid accountability….
yeah that’s bad too….i just hope the hackers are the leaker type and not the hostile foreign government type…
The hostile foreign governments are probably upset that the hacker revealed all these messages were being stored in plain text on AWS.
Then again, who even are the “hostile foreign governments” these days? Canada?
china, russia, north korea, venezuela, canada, greenland, yemen, afghanistan, iran, pakistan, malta, israel, mexico, panama, brazil, nigeria, the european union, nato, georgia, uzbekistan, america…
Russia’s more a friend than hostile these days.
Which Georgia, or both?
Release em!
Good news. The fascist takeover will be foiled by the so called “flawless opsec 👊🇺🇸🔥” 🤣
I guess this means they’ll stop trying to fire all their aides because the leaks are coming from outside the house!
It uses client side encryption, so that shouldn’t impact confidentiality
The password is “Ivanka69!”
No, the keys are PFS and randomly generated by the app. Encryption uses double ratchet. The seed is in the TPM and cannot be extracted.
These goddamned idiots are going to get at least one supercarrier sunk. At least one.
We have forked off from the darkest timeline into its stupidest.
I think the darkest timeline and the stupidest merged into one. We get both.
I like that your optimism separated the two
The fact that we have incompetent evil instead of competent evil is what keeps me getting up to face the day in the morning. These guys having an IQ that could freeze nitrogen means that we, the people, have a slim chance to avoid total annihilation. It could be very much worse than it is.
This way adds the additional danger vector of traumatic brain injury due to repeated and forceful facepalming, but I’d rather that over intelligent evil in the white house. The one saving grace of Trump & Co is that they’re all dumb as a box of rocks and are incapable of flexing their power fully. I’m upset that the president of the USA is retarded, but I’m thankful that this president in particular is the retarded one.
Well it’s a fork. So it’s technically got all of the darkest timeline up to the point they added the extreme stupidity patch.
There will be a merge PR soon enough.
Let’s put them back together:
“Like Idiocracy, only less fun”
For now, until they pull request it back to the dark timeline
Changes Requested
Oh? What a surprise.
