The headline is actually true. Cellebrite did claim that after all. Whether or not it Cellebrite is lying is another story. Although it was pathetic of them to not reach out of Moxie. It only shows the quality of the mainstream media.
- kortex 6y agoThat doesn't absolve BBC of spreading misinformation, which is what they are doing. It takes near zero effort to make a dubious claim on a blog. If BBC then writes, "kortex claimed to have hacked the NSA", that's accurate, I did make a wild claim. It's also misinformation if that headline is published without any investigation as to if that claim has any weight beyond internet rambling. "You can't put anything on the internet that isn't true" "Where'd you read that?" "Internet"
- h_anna_h 6y agoSure? I never said otherwise.
- everfree 6y agoThey did? Signal seems to claim otherwise. From the linked Signal post: > Not only can Cellebrite not break Signal encryption, but Cellebrite never even claimed to be able to.
