The fuck is this shit?

[Signal @signalapp]

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications.

One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: https://t.co/QfWgOxHAzp. The memo used the term ‘vulnerability’ in relation to Signal—but it had nothing to do with Signal’s core tech. It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users.

Phishing isn’t new, and it’s not a flaw in our encryption or any of Signal’s underlying technology. Phishing attacks are a constant threat for popular apps and websites.

In order to help protect people from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal introduced new user flows and in-app warnings. This work has been completed for some time and is unrelated to any current events. If you’re interested in learning more, this WIRED article from February 19th (over a month ago) goes into more detail:

Signal is open source, so our code is regularly scrutinized in addition to regular formal audits. We also constantly monitor [email protected] for any new reports, and we act on them with quickness while also working to protect the people who rely on us from outside threats like phishing with warnings and safeguards.

This is why Signal remains the gold standard for private, secure communications.

@marcnalder @Lord_Sugar All you need to do is look at the photos and videos of those who broke in, some of those have been identified. Your bullshit story falls over. Fuck off.

@TPLINKUK @TPLINKHelp Can you let me know if I can have 2 Archer C7 (or any combination of OneMesh equipped routers) EACH directly connected to the Modem via Ethernet and have them set up in a OneMesh configeration?

[Colin Wiseman @_CWiseman]

@KelleyAshbyPaul @politico But did you listen to their message? Did you take notice? Or did you ignore their words over your own agenda?

[Colin Wiseman @_CWiseman]

@Jewkneeor I went for the 3rd option, so far its been a good choice. Ill save the other 2 for next year and the year after.

@AmonMetalHead @KimDotcom America being the capitalist shit show it is and the horiffic fact they are the only developed country to not have free health care is disgusting and has given rise to the untrust in the medical profession.

[Colin Wiseman @_CWiseman]

@AmonMetalHead @KimDotcom I was speaking more generally about drug prices is some instances. Here in the UK its the Govs responsability to keep drug prices as competitive as possible as the Gov back the NHS, all we need to pay is 17 quid for a prescription, regardless of what drug it is.

[Colin Wiseman @_CWiseman]

@AmonMetalHead @KimDotcom Finally someone who understands the scientific community arnt a bunch of coyboys out to make money off people being sick, yes there are companies who push them to market at hiked up prices, but the science behind them is sound and justified.

[Colin Wiseman @_CWiseman]
