  They sound staggeringly incompetent. And anyone who bought their software without any investigation into its quality also sounds staggeringly incompetent.

    The Wired article is not based on the 404 article. This one goes into detail about the mechanics of the hack.

  works in almost exactly the same way as Signal, except that it also archives copies of all the messages passing through it, shattering all of its security guarantees.

  Pretty sure Signal does that as well, which is not a security issue.

    Signal uses end-to-end encryption (E2EE). The only copies of messages are on the sender’s and recipient’s devices.

      Copies of messages are also known as archives.
