Comment on How the Signal Knockoff App TeleMessage Got Hacked in 20 Minutes

  I’m not confused, you’re intentionally misreading what’s happening for some reason.

  “Passing through it” pretty clearly refers to the server as that’s what was hacked into and had plain text archives.

  You’re hyper fixating on the fact that the article says “the app” when referring to both the phone and server pieces to try and argue… something.

    You are confused. I’m not “intentionally misreading” anything, it was written incorrectly. I’m not trying to argue anything. I’m just reading the (wrong) words used in the article. When I come across a piece of misinformation, I don’t continue reading in the hopes that they clear it up later, I write it off and close it.

    Someone else cleared this up. There’s no reason to continue arguing about it.

      I’m still not confused and you’re still missing the forest for the trees here.

      There was a plaintext archive of messages on a remote server. That’s a security problem no matter what point you’re trying to make.

        I do like common terminology, that’s the problem.

        Once again, this has already been cleared up elsewhere. Since you seem intent on dragging this out for some reason, you’re going to be blocked. Have a nice night.

      I don’t continue reading

      Seems like willful illiteracy & incomplete evidence fallacy. There was literally all the resources on the internet & a quick search to check hastily drawn conclusions before posting them.
