adding that it won’t use your messages, calls, or groups to inform its ads.

I thought they used some E2E implemented for them by the Signal team.
Have they already butchered it completely?

Thought about that second interpretation after posting my answer
Could have easily interpreted it the same way…

Still somehow enjoyed the video

I think, I even knew this prototype from another article. But was fun seeing it put to test and partly disassembled

Fuck…

An upvote wasn’t enough.
Thank you!

I have only skimmed the eureka alert article, but already on the surface it’s so much better than… whatever the fuck that originally-linked thing is.

Anyone having a link to a more technical (detailed) description?
This is quite novice orientated and I’d be very interested on how it actually works. Is there anything already disclosed?

Edit: link at the end to the original research/more detailed explanation:

Thank you very much!

I need exactly something like that thing! :⁠-⁠D

Something I can just connect to a device to gather logs and don’t need to care, that it’s lying in the dirt for a few hours.
Currently I need to use my main laptop and I’m always anxious to get it destroyed. Either by dirt/dust or a careless worker in the warehouse.

So this thing seems to be just perfect for such tasks

Can’t even express how happy and excited I am now, waiting for that sexy little thing to show up in my mail :⁠-⁠D

Yeah, was the first thing I thought, how the fuck do they want to cool them?

That’s quite a large amount of coke though

And as the normal route is too snort it, I’m pretty sure you will have a hard time to get that much stuff inside you at once

Well, usually those go nice hand in hand

I guess you mean white powder

White power is clearly very openly rampant in police institutions worldwide - although, I guess, the white powder isn’t far away either…

They do

But as it needs to go into their private pocket, they manipulate the market and already spare regulations, so they have a free go and cash in

Wouldn’t help them, when the nation gets the many due to sane profit taxing and fraud investigations

As far as I’ve heard, it’s not so bad, and it it’s bad, it was god’s plan anyway

As far as I know, I’ve blocked my keyboards network requests

But maybe GrapheneOS gives me more abilities here

Yeah, exactly

But when they talk, that signal is hackable, there is pretty much a difference to a phishing attack or an actual hack of the infrastructure

And as you said, with E2E encryption that shouldn’t be really possible

Yeah, if you device is compromised, the apps on it are obviously as well.

But that still doesn’t affect Signal as a network directly.
Which is imho a important distinction, as else all my communications could be compromised as well

Not saying that this isn’t a threat vector, but it’s not like my communications are automatically compromised, like with a bug or hacked signal server infrastructure

Signal is a publicly available app that provides encrypted communications, but it can be hacked.

As far as I’ve seen, the only attacks are phishing attacks to get a device linked

This is far from being hack-able in my books.

Did I miss something?

I’m not defending those dipshits, but I want to make sure, that my preferred communication platform isn’t actually compromised

They could probably all just say, that the screenshot were photoshopped

It seems, that it doesn’t matter to them anyway whatsoever…
