Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

Why would any message be plaintext?

Fair you could have just said they have reproducible builds or linked to the docs: github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/…/README.md

Again you are missing the point of the attack
If you don’t understand how any of this works, it’s just best not to comment.
Back at you, even if you are right that signal is secure, the attack is not what you think it is.

What in the world are you talking about here, bud? Your comments are making zero sense.
Look, seriously, if my comment is being upvoted, it’s because I responded to yours, and people understand what I am saying in response.
You, unfortunately, clearly do not understand what I’m saying because you do not grasp how any of this works.

Lmao, sure buddy pat yourself on the back because you got upvotes.
You’re talking about E2E encryption as if it prevents side-channel attacks, but sure morons will upvotes because they also don’t understand real world security.
The only useful thing you’ve pointed out in your deluge of spam, is that Signal builds are reproducible which does protect against the attack described (as long as there isn’t a backdoor in the published code)

That’s literally what E2E encryption does. In order to attack it from outside you would have to break the encryption itself, and modern encryption is so robust that it would require quantum computing to break, and that capability hasn’t been developed yet.
The only reason the other commenter’s words sound like spam to you is because you don’t understand it, which you plainly reveal when you say "(as long as there isn’t a backdoor in the published [audited] code)

E2E encryption doesn’t prevent client side attacks, I misspoke when I called it a side channel attack, and ultimately Signal code is audited, so Signal is more secure, but people are mistaking a client-side exploit (sent from Meta’s servers to the WhatsApp client) with breaking E2E encryption of whatsapp, which is not what is described in the article.

Do you know what size channel attacks are? Because nothing you’ve even tried to bring up describes one at all, or how it applies to your original comments.

Yeah a size channel attack is when a poster can’t let go of how small their dick is so talks about how great Signal is.
