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
as I pointed out in your other comment. signal uses a database, fails to explain why a database is required, and doesn’t even make a mention of it in their technical information.
why use a database at all? that just introduces more attack surface area and complexity for attackers to leverage.
Yeah precisely you didn’t check what it’s for. It doesn’t hold conversation data or even metadata.
what 👏 is 👏 it 👏 used 👏 for
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT’S USED FOR
they have 45 day store-and-forward of encrypted attachments, and the handle registration thing, and that’s it
Do you think they would want to go to federal jail for lying to federal agents when they insist they have no metadata about you?
