Netzpoltik details that police are able to gain access in this way either through physical access to someone’s phone or by intercepting verification codes via a state-sanctioned phishing attack or intercepting SMS messages via telephone surveillance



for signal, that is still required. if you look, they used linked devices to get the messages
That’s not MITM done by the signal foundation.
I meant us handing over our encryption keys. ofc MITM does not work here
