Persuading someone is not „breach“.
Tldr: This is phishing attack, not a breach of the apps themselves.
>Users are persuaded in chats initiated by the hackers to divulge security verification and pin codes, giving them access to personal accounts and group chats, they said in a statement.
Social engineering attack. Nothing to see here. In fact, the fact this is the only way speaks for Signal’s security.
Great, now also Reuters does click-bait titles.
Based on the article, the title should be ‚*Stupid officials and journalists give their secret WhatsApp and Signal encryption code to Nigerian Princes*‘.
The end-to-end encryption is still working as intended.
This is quite bizarre, when they hacked my devices, ALL of the device was overtaken, not just particular apps, keylogger and all.
Officials should start to use nordvpn
/s
so basically social engineering/phishing, not an actual break of Signal or WhatsApp security?
I can sympathize.
I got burglarized after I gave this random guy on the streets my house keys.
I can’t believe how insecure locks are nowadays.
Hmm, and the Russian hackers are because they left business cards that say „Russian computer hacker Ivan Drago, your mother’s leg.“
