- like_any_other 1y ago> The hack revealed that the archived chat logs are not end-to-end encrypted between the modded version of Signal that TeleMessage offers and the ultimate location where it stores the messages, 404 Media reported. Given the emphasis on end-to-end encryption by apps such as Signal, its importance for sensitive government communications, and its rudimentary nature in cryptography (one doesn't need to be an expert to know it's useless to talk about 'security' if it is absent), I struggle to understand how this is a mistake and not a deliberate backdoor.
