Signal requires phone number just like Telegram does. Does it mean it is susceptible to the same attack that Telegram is?

- gsich 8y agoYes. But you don't get message history.
- kiriakasis 8y agoI thought that you can get message history but it is not automatic.
- BoumTAC 8y agoYes
- xashor 8y agoWith Signal, if a the numbers registers a new account like in this attack scenario, 1. the attacker cannot access old/pending messages (as they are always encrypted), and 2. the person on the other side of the conversation gets a warning that the keys have changed, thus need new verification before continuing the conversation. So, Signal is more secure on that front.
