[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 1121168, member: 57429"] Signal is secure as far as we know. Signal is the most secure E2EE chat app we have (you can argue Whats App) Is it bulletproof from exploits/bugs? No. But what is? The US defense Signal chat was user error, he accidentally added someone to a group chat. Now you can argue Signal should have measures in place to stop unauthorized people joining chats but that only shifts the problem onto the user and admin of the group chat to verify invites and using one time codes or verified links/invites has its own problems (being stolen or compromised and reused). But why would you try and break the encryption of Signal? They try and compromise the end device mobile or PC through phishing or social engineering. If they can't do that they would work on iOS or Android bugs/exploits and if they really wanted you they would try firmware bugs. Last resort/option is physical compromise of device, but by that time your goose is already cooked! [/QUOTE]
