Its absolutely ridiculous that Twitter does not have end to end encryption of DMs yet. To think that they once hired Moxie/Whisper Systems and could have been miles ahead of everyone else on this. It's purely negligence at this stage.
- Dahoon 6y agoWhile I do agree with you I don't see how this would have helped unless it is encrypted with a key Twitter doesn't have (ie. encrypted in the client with something else than the password). I highly doubt we will see that happen.

- twic 6y agoWhat does this even mean? The attackers had the users' credentials, by resetting them. They had all the access the users had. There is no kind of encryption that would prevent them reading the messages in this situation. Twitter is fundamentally a web app. Users can log in from any browser and read their messages, which are stored on the server. This is a very different situation from Signal or WhatsApp, where an account is tied to a device, and messages can be stored there.
