    @0xPhilH @vonderburchard @signalapp The users got hacked, not Signal. If those users' Signal accounts hadn't been phished, it's likely at some point in the near future those same users' accounts on some other service would be phished as the same vulnerable point of entry (the user themselves) remains.

    @signalapp Rule of the internet: If someone asks for your verification code, they’re trying to steal your account. No legit service will ever ask for it. Stay sharp.

    @0hour1 @DaleSulliv94781 Good! @signalapp needs to do the same or they should be shut down completely.

    @signalapp If the infrastructure and encryption of Signal remain uncompromised, then this is a social engineering problem, not a platform breach. User awareness is the real defense here.

    Apple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.

    @signalapp please fix it!

    @signalapp My suspicions would have immediately been alerted by two distinct grammar errors in there, of a type that generally only occur when the originator speaks a language with a different syntax. Easy for me to spot, not so easy for someone with less than top notch English language skills. I expect that AI will defeat me at some point. It's a minefield out there folks...

    @signalapp you have a glitch. Your view once feature allows for a screenshot. Plz fix it.

    @notesnook @signalapp Signal devs must lead the way leading other devs to takre control back. They should guide other devs. Yet they follow common protocols and win stupid prices like this. Then cry for Apple support to help them fix things. I expect better from Signal. (n/n)

    @signalapp a number of my contacts are not getting notifications of my signal messages. One on Android and others on iphone. Been like this for at least a year. Please fix.

  • Avitus2187
    Avitus (@Avitus2187) reported

    @nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.

  • FrOSo49

    @signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved

    @signalapp In 1988, Iranians were silenced by guns. In 2022, by blackout. In 2025, will you help them be heard? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

    @Shahinlooo Millions of Iranians cannot contact their families or receive emergency alerts.The Islamic Republic regime of the mullahs has shut down the internet inside Iran to prevent the voice of truth of the Iranian people from reaching the world. @Cloudflare @Signalapp

    @signalapp Having issues to reregister on #iPhone. Always shows 'something-went-wrong.-try - after - sometime" message. :(

    Currently stuck in a Captcha loop nightmare on @signalapp because I created a new group chat with new contacts, whom I sent a DM to first before adding to the group. I tell myself it's OK as it means protection and security are working on Signal.... but HELP. 💀🛡

    @bdmurdock @signalapp It does. As a security guy, I don't mind a few seconds to secure. I have however seen people putting in a lot of effort to get round our controls at work, for ease of use. I'll always try and have a chat and see what the actual issue is, and if we can do something.

  • bdmurdock
    Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported

    @zentex @signalapp All security eventually comes down to some sort of secret. Passkeys, 2FA, etc. are great because they don't require you to share secrets like passwords do. They are nearly impossible to hack. But they still require some bit of knowledge that a social engineer can get from you

  • NCyotee
    not_cyotee (@NCyotee) reported

    @aaron0v @signalapp Simple, Signal controls your keys, and the app delivery lifecycle. Yes, it is OS, and anyone can compile and run it. For now. They systematically shut down any popular alternate builds. And they obfuscate the compiled code. You have to use their servers, so at any point they can change the underlying behavior by pushing and update. And the simple fact, if they can recover your key for you, you have no guarantee they can't recover your key for themselves. Matrix allows any client. You control your key. No recovery. If you lose your key, you lose access to all your old messages.

    @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @giyasibrahim @signalapp Signal requires a phone number for signup (not email) so users can instantly discover friends from their phone's address book, and to limit spam—bulk numbers cost more/time than free emails. Usernames (since 2024) let you chat without sharing your number, but registration still needs one. Email wouldn't fix abuse or social graph issues as well.

    Tim (@timderoode) reported

    @durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?

    @chat If this meant to compete with @signalapp the open-source the whole thing; otherwise it’s hard to the see the point… can you help us to see the point?
