And the original blog post by Cellebrite does claim to have 'cracked' the encryption, doesn't it? So the BBC's headline isn't exactly inaccurate.
- kortex 6y agoSo what? There's plenty of dubious blogs claiming all manner of things. The actual accomplishment isn't noteworthy (they wrote a scraper). If it were encryption-breaking, it would indeed be noteworthy, and thus worthy of fact-checking or at least waiting for Signal's rebuttal of "lolwut, no, that's nonsense". "Accuracy" is moot here: BBC's headline is misinformation.
