It IS a backdoor.
1) Signal protocol doesn't have this issue, it was introduced by Whatsup.
2) It wasn't public until now.
3) The security notification is turned off by default in android and ios apps.
Huge issue especially since Whatsup is recommended for activists and whistle-blowers.

- FabHK 10y agoIt was made public in April last year. Most knowledgeable advice only recommends Signal, and possibly Threema or Wire, for communication that needs to be secure, see e.g. https://www.securemessagingapps.com https://www.securemessagingapps.com
- tptacek 10y agoCan you point me to the cryptographic engineer who has ever recommended Threema or Wire over Signal?
