    The main issue I know about is in how messages are stored (the top CVE in that list). If a phone is compromised, all chat history could be exfiltrated. That’s incredibly unlikely for a regular citizen, but it’s a lot more likely for an important position like the head of the Department of Defense or something.

      Im not a security researcher tbh and I havent extensively studied the security model of Signal (I use Matrix)

        Same. I’m just generally pretty cyber-security curious, and have read a bit on this topic.

        I think Signal and Matrix are absolutely fantastic. I use Signal as an SMS replacement and Matrix for group chats, and I whole-heartedly recommend both.
