He completely rewrote CryptoCat in 2016 and that still wasn't good, the security page was at https://web.archive.org/web/20160407125207/https://crypto.cat/security.html https://web.archive.org/web/20160407125207/https://crypto.ca... and there were still pretty bad issues, notably the file sharing disclosing the exact size of the file shared, despite him stating "Cryptocat makes the following assumptions: Untrusted network: We assume that an attacker controls the network and so can intercept, tamper with and inject network messages.".
This was not "ECDH completely broken" bad, by far, but still far from good. I guess that was still before obtaining his PhD.
