I need something China for the bingo card
Jfc dude I’m dead 🤣
Full texts got released! See update on the Atlantic!
That encryption is not impenetrable, however, and the Google Threat Intelligence Group warned just last month of “increasing efforts from several Russia state-aligned threat actors to compromise Signal Messenger accounts used by individuals of interest to Russia’s intelligence services.”
This is somewhat disingenuous. Signal can’t be directly cracked. Only access to the phone directly or via mirroring can expose it. The article somewhat explains this.
I am in no way whatsoever excusing the actions of these douche-chalupas. I prefer accuracy in my reporting, though. That said, Witkoff in Russia may as well have been a direct line to Putin.
But it isn’t that hard to create a signal account with the name of someone high in the US ranks and send a request to these people. They are too dumb to actually validate the key of the person.
Encryption can’t handle when the encrypt with a foe’s key and send that for the message.
The most uncrackable encryption can be defeated by Steven Witkoff sitting on Putin’s lap while reading the messages.
Bingo, comrade.
may as well have been a direct line to Putin.
Was Mr Putin over his shoulder at the crucial moment, or just a state-run high-def camera?
почему не оба?
Given the rest of their behavior I’m seeing that chat member leaning across the lunch table towards Putin’s secretary, holding out his phone: “hey look, we’re just about to bomb Yemen!”
Independently verifiable detail number 28543 showing that Trump and everyone he has appointed are unfit for office, and that no one who voted for him will ever care about, and from which no consequences will ever flow.
I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters. – Mr. Donald J. Trump
Love the way THE BBC is trying to make signal sound like some hackers playset, really shows how much the UK gov hate encryption or people having any privacy at all.
Are they?
No.
Graham Fraser: Technology reporter.
Signal, compared with other messaging apps, has added security features to protect the privacy of its users. Conversations on the app are end-to-end encrypted, which means they can only be read by the recipients. Signal can’t even read what has been sent. But security is only as good as the person using it.
Damage control look up their original articles on trump.
Isn’t hard to look up the BBC site, their pretty much making signal sound like an insecure hacking tool only used by dissidents.
Why would dissidents want to use something insecure? 🤔
It also goes to show that Signal may actually be worth its salt in regards to security.
Well I use it and have put it on relatives phones so they can communicate with me easily, ideally though I’d use Threema but yeah signals a lot better than other free alternatives.
You use Signal to avoid government surveillance.
I use Signal to avoid government accountability.
We are not the same.
The UK is an utter shithole when it comes to privacy, always has been. It doesn’t look to be getting better any time soon either.
Stories like this are exactly why cybersecurity isn’t just about encryption or tools—it’s about understanding behavior, risks, and exposure across systems. Platforms like cyberupgrade.net help orgs get better at that by automating risk awareness and internal training, especially for non-technical teams.
God dammit, the ads finally found their way to Lemmy
Trump is a Russian asset and the Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.
As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.
This was all known before, americans still voted for him. This is what they want…
Krasnov, destroying America from within since 1987, the best accidental investment Putin ever made. Great success, comrades! 👍
Who thinks Putin doesn’t intercept these chats?
Who thinks he needs to intercept them?
He was probably told before any of these guys.
I do. Signal encryption is watertight.
Doesn’t matter if you’re using a compromised device. Given the number of people in the group chat, that at least some of them were using personal devices, and all of them are high value targets… I wouldn’t be so confident that this chat wasn’t intercepted.
Fucking traitor scum.
The entire Government of Putin is a huge cluster fuck. Send them all to fucking Moscow, one-way.
Sounds like a bunch of traitors.
Are you just figuring that out now? Attacking all its allies is what did it for me.
The US is a captured state now, and there are only a few ways out; voting is not one of them.
Welcome to the party pal, most of us knew it was traitor town when “Russia if your listening” was said on national TV.
That’s treason.
Nah, treason is now anything that acts against Trump, the sovereign.
I’m looking forward to anyone using the word ‘signal’ around trump being suspected of mocking him.
Sensitive egotistical maniacs are so much fun to placate.
Hang them all
The French Revolution can’t come back soon enough
Might want to read up on what happened after all that… Because… yeah.
Or even during. People think about Louis XVI getting chopped, but never the people who did the chopping getting chopped x4. And then, yes, Louis XVIII.
The real fruits of the revolution were from the seeds it planted blooming decades later in the Victorian era. Living through it just sounds like it sucked; they were a generation of martyrs for a liberal democratic future they barely got to see the beginnings of.
Well said
These people are incompetent on a scale barely understandable.
And it’s so frustrating that they are not in jail.
I assume for that to happen, a significant portion of the American political system would be in trouble. It’s not so much that Trump is some unique phenomenon, it’s more like he’s not subtle about it. We’re being screwed every day by the leader class, they’re just quiet enough about it that most people go back to their NASCAR and high-fructose corn syrup snacks.
