Yes, “though contacts are encrypted, users are not prevented from using a weak PIN” would have been a better way to word this criticism from the start, rather than implying that they are stored completely unencrypted.
- autoexec 4y ago“though contacts are encrypted, users are not prevented from using a weak PIN” ignores that Signal encouraged users to set a weak pin (for many people the word "PIN" means a 4 digit number) and that the data is stored using SGX which has already proved to be vulnerable. In my view the fact that they have been lying in their privacy policy is a much bigger problem for a company we're supposed to trust.
