I’ve seen more informative reporting from 404 media and others, Signal had more or less said they can’t guarantee security for third party apps. Which makes sense, I can’t guarantee a house I didn’t build is safe. The OP link also talks about how the hacked company is Oregon based, which is technically true that they’re registered there. But the reporting I had read indicated the company was founded and is run by a former Israeli security officer, and has offices in Israel.

Isn’t the whole point of Signal that it’s end-to-end encrypted?
How can it (or rather it’s fork) getting hacked result in messages being exposed?

Apparently the purpose of the fork was to send copies of the messages somewhere else for archiving.

The somewhere else being the Israeli government.
