I deleted #whatsapp after hearing about all the metadata it leaks to Meta. If #signal is safe enough for the American warlords it's probably safe enough for me.

FYI for #Signal users: Today my wife could not send messages because Signal has implemented captchas, and the captcha failed. Nothing would send without passing the captcha. The message was being sent to another Signal user who she's messaged before and is in her contacts. It was urgent, and she had to send via SMS to get the message through. The "feature" and "safety" creep has turned Signal into something that doesn't do its only job. They would sacrifice function for the sake of treating us like spammers. You'd also think the years of metadata they have would be enough to get us on the "not spam" list. We were already using other apps as our primary messengers, but this is really the final nail in the coffin. #privacy #security

New #Signal and #Molly (hardened Signal fork) update keeps phone number private, lets you to set up a username. Plenty of cool usernames still available. I got one I like 😎 Note: Usernames are not public. #cybersecgirl #privacytechpro https://signal.org/blog/phone-number-privacy-usernames/

i smell bullshit. this author clearly has an agenda to spread fud conspiracy theories, going all the way back to ww2 to try and link signal to the cia is a ridiculous stretch. #signal is not an asset of the us gov because the gov provided money to the otf (open technology fund). whisper systems received this funding along with several other non-profits. this article has a dangerous agenda of fearmongering and biased conjecture nostr:nevent1qqswgeqf7t67lwc48g7m9kd5m5v9exhl9zp67q5ccy9p3udav4t62kspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3qrenaud65zug8r570ndztde2xhk206z3v50a5mwa3kp2xshy3zmjqxpqqqqqqzj8axjp
**A Warning About #Signal Proxies in Iran and...** People looking to use Signal Proxies to bypass censorship programs should be aware of a number of issues with Signal’s current proxy implementation. Currently, Signal does not tunnel all application traffic through the specified proxy, which means authorities could still track people using Signal https://blog.privacyguides.org/2022/10/15/warning-about-signal-proxies/
if someone tries to register with that (your) number and is able to get the SMS code, they can kick you out of your Signal account #infosec #signal #cybersecgirl https://blog.privacyguides.org/2022/11/10/signal-number-registration-update/

i feel this. i use #molly (hardened fork of #signal) and #simplex. i insist friends and family use one or the other to contact me...and i try to mitigate the threat by not making naked cell calls (vpn is always on) and i treat them as if they're being recorded...because they are 😔

Good to see some more work going on to prepare for the future. Proactive not reactive. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/09/signal-preps-its-encryption-engine-for-the-quantum-doomsday-inevitability/ In a post published Tuesday, Signal Foundation CTO Ehren Kret wrote: "We believe that the key encapsulation mechanism we have selected, CRYSTALS-Kyber, is built on solid foundations, but to be safe we do not want to simply replace our existing elliptic curve cryptography foundations with a post-quantum public key cryptosystem. Instead, we are augmenting our existing cryptosystems such that an attacker must break both systems in order to compute the keys protecting people’s communications. The essence of our protocol upgrade from X3DH to PQXDH is to compute a shared secret, data known only to the parties involved in a private communication session, using both the elliptic curve key agreement protocol X25519 and the post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism CRYSTALS-Kyber. We then combine these two shared secrets together so that any attacker must break both X25519 and CRYSTALS-Kyber to compute the same shared secret." #security #cryptography #signal

yes. to the tech literate there are ways of bypassing internet restrictions. however, this bill will create new criminal offenses incl. "false communication offense". who decides what's "false"? "if the amendment proposed by Champion is passed, it could lead to restrictions on VPN usage in the UK. This could have serious implications for internet users who rely on VPNs to protect their privacy and bypass censorship" https://www.vpnhound.com/guides/online-safety-bill-vpns/ this bill is a threat to basic human rights it's good to know #signal is ready to walk if it happens "Signal, an encrypted messaging service with roughly 40 million users, has said it will shut down UK operations if the bill undermines end-to-end encryption." https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_US/privacyhub/online-safety-bill-internet-privacy/
