The Signal Clone the Trump Admin Uses Was Hacked

I actually read into this recently. The app is open source and they hardcoded the token needed to decrypt archived messages into the app. So you could just look at the source code and take the key and decode anything anyone that used the app said. This is a purposeful backdoor installed into this version of signal that completely borks its cryptography lmao
Its also one of the only changes the app made to the source code so you can trivially look at the commit history for vulnerabilities and find it almost instantly.

Folks, please don't hardcode your encryption keys into your app. Or in this case, do.

The app is
openzio source... Its also one of the only changes the app made to the source code so you can trivially look at the commit history for vulnerabilities and find it almost instantly.Yeah, that's the point. What other reason is there for some "company" to do only this?

“If I could have found this in less than 30 minutes then anybody else could too. And who knows how long it’s been vulnerable?” the hacker said.
State secrets in 30 minutes or less, or your money back!

I Trusted Israel and All I Got Was This Stupid

Shocking. Israelis are spying again.
-
Any mainstream news site will just say “national security experts suspect involvement by Russia and China linked state actors”
-
I mean, I'm sure many groups find and use israeli backdoors. Would be irresponsible not to tbh

No wonder Xi is so confident in standing firm against the imperialists.
These amerikkkan leaders are so stupid.

Every time the method and data of these kind of hacks isn't released to the public I get limited hangout vibes.
