Signal does not archive messages on server side

They weren’t talk about the server:

Later in the article, it talks specifically about the server-side archives being stored in plain text. That’s why the hacker was able to access messages. This isn’t about the local copies on phones.

It’s why Molly has local database encryption.

That doesn’t really do anything. Attackers need local access to the device to get the database itself. Chances are, they’ll get the key right with it.

The only backup option I see for Signal is through Android, but it’s optional. There is no backup support for iOS or desktop.
