Figure they’ve penetrated telegram or someone and are trying to drive people to use compromised messaging? Idk but when Russia and Musk both target Signal that makes me think I should be using it. (But maybe that’s the play lol.)
The FBI, before Trump and Musk got their grubby little claws into it, warned everyone in the US to switch to E2EE messaging, and they explicitly mentioned Signal by name as one of several options.
This was/is due to the still-ongoing Salt Typhoon hack, and if the government is telling people they need to hide their info—an entity with agencies and bills set up to spy on its citizens— it’s probably something everyone should be doing yesterday.
So yes, you should be using Signal, SimpleX, a Matrix client, etc.

FBI big mad their backdoors got exposed and it is not a security risk…
It’s a phishing campaign. Update signal and don’t give strangers your details. Also the windows desktop app sucks. Due to windows being insecure.
Yep this is, at least so far, a “the bastards can’t crack in from the outside so they’re trying to get you to hand over your account.”
Mildly reassuring but clickbait titles gonna clickbait.
