    @signalapp watched phishing kits move from login pages to fake support scripts after trust improved

    @privacylawyer @signalapp the citizen lab link is broken. but no, it would not be amusing; my company is entirely predicated on extensive signal use, and having them remove service for Canadians would be very destructive to my organization

    @Pandora_Delaney @ArtirKel @signalapp hmm yeah that does sound like a bug perhaps file a bug report and hope that the next update would fix? (sorry idk anyone at signal)

    @nullc0py @signalapp @404mediaco Of course that _could_ be a feature, but: - many receiving such messages would think something is broken - the recipient must have control of their own device's behavior over the sender - the real risk is the human at the other end most of the time

    @signalapp Used fraudulently this software could scan bank accounts & other financial & data sensitive ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be implemented through the data centres. It will not safeguard children it's another population control measure.

    @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

  • LeoVasanko
    Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported

    @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

    Firebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.

    @TomZarebczan @signalapp @RadarChat The problem is not that. the problem is onboarding others. There's no point for me being there without anyone else I know, and I have been having a quite hard time to onboard people to Signal already :)

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who says we have to? You were given a fake problem to worry about.

    @yegortk @signalapp No it's a simple problem we want privacy

    @topicswithatee @signalapp Take the phone away from the kids if they’re not trustworthy. Problem solved.

    How can i leave the groups or delete my signal account because whenever i try to do that it say network problem even i have best internet connection @signalapp

  • deuslexic
    Deus (@deuslexic) reported

    Signal security with CAPTCHA is non-sense. I cannot pass it for 3 days, manually with my agents. I need to assign a new number, and I've been throttled after just several attempts (it was carrier issues). @signalapp can you be less idiotic, please?

    @signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix

  • Paul_Reviews
    Paul Moore - Security Consultant  (@Paul_Reviews) reported

    @Paul__Walsh @mer__edith @signalapp ? Literally in your tweet Paul. It's dangerous to suggest E2EE is broken because decrypted data can be later misused. To be clear, I agree with you... but the wording matters.

  • CtrlAlt8080
    CTRL_ALT_DELETE (@CtrlAlt8080) reported

    @JackRhysider @signalapp Same as the API.WhatsAp is evrywhere bc Meta sells the Business API. eats the spam/abuse problem with a massive trust & safety org.Signal is 50 ppl at a nonprofit. Doctor-and-shop messaging means becoming a spam cop and a subpoena magnet. It's the the design, not a lack of will.

    @VusiThembekwayo @signalapp @telegram This will not help anyone. If one needs a secure way of communicating, one needs a self hosted option

    @signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏

    @octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing

    @signalapp I know it's not a thing, because you seem like normal people with morals. But it would be terrible if you happened to have a data breach that showed all the private chats our government is having.

    @KhanAbbas201 @signalapp Its just terrible for groups.

  • jsonsackey
    Jason Sackey (@jsonsackey) reported

    @oliszymanski @signalapp The media which generates such things is sometimes: kids' own phones. One issue on-device-scanning is meant to address is that of children sending illegal photos of themselves, induced e.g. by groomers, extortionists, peers, or adults pretending to be children.

    @signalapp Handing over login credentials to “support” is an intelligence test at this point.

    @signalapp please fix it!

    @agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now

    @RichAzzopardi @NYCMayor @signalapp Mamdani can finally be taken down for illegal activity.

    @signalapp Hey, signal is not working in India. The website shows no outage, can you look into it?

    @signalapp I am writing to report a persistent issue with receiving the registration/verification SMS code in Iran.

    @LabDRN @signalapp A better way to do this is to only switch the service on for childs' phones. The parents do that when they set up the phone. No dig ID needed.
