Those people are idiots. You always need to check the credentials and history of people telling you something, and even then - if they’re an expert in security they may know nothing about electronics or explosives or how secret agencies operate.

And yes, news can be really unreliable - on purpose or just out of mistakes. Gotta always keep that in mind as well, but it also reeeally depends on the particular media company.

As a pentester, if I see XML in HTTP I start crying.

Camus! Just enjoy everything! Rebel against meaning!

It’s really not that simple. Look at Austria, for example. It’s also a lot about culture and society itself and how it developed. We are exporting nazis ffs. Shit that gets people thrown out of parties in Germany (like Krah) is just another Tuesday in Austria. And we have a great educational system. Of course with ways to improve.

That is political ‘info’.

You need to check out public key cryptography and digital signatures. Those are the basics of Fido.

When the private key is bound to a device it is not possible to fake or steal it through conventional methods. Passwords are the weakest link and an easy target for attackers - passkeys basically solve that.

User adoption depends on implementation, but everything is easier than remembering a secure password or using a password manager for most people. There needs to be an easy and secure way to distribute passkeys across devices, and any backup mechanisms may be a weak point. In any case: still better than passwords.

It’s a great tool for interface design and visualization.

A platform is nothing but a reflection of its users and of humanity :) An empty canvas we can fill.

The firewalls are all backdoored too!

Caring about the technology of an app more than about its privacy is really strange to me, but you do you.

You can collaborate on WhatsApp or Signal as well, both messengers are using the end-to-end encrypted Signal protocol. Even in group chats. Telegram is not E2EE per default.

Of course, with WhatsApp Meta collects all your metadata so they have a very detailed network of basically all the people in this world… At least without all their messages.

Messages are only end-to-end encrypted if you use the Secure Messaging option. Otherwise everything passes the server in cleartext.

That means that anyone with access to those servers can read your messages.

You’re hilarious!

Don’t you think there are better, more recent examples of this?

(Oh, I missed the instance I was on lol)

Telegram is a security disaster.

Not Ruby sure what you’re saying, but I dream of getting strangled by a Python that can’t C#. 🤤

Ah, yes. America with its magic wand controlling everything and everyone! Just yesterday evening Biden made me snort three lines of coke.

They are not just middlemen, they control the entire sales platform - both buyer and seller.

Paywalls.

Snapchat is not end-to-end encrypted, so they saw the message and notified the authorities. So yes, exactly.

“Intercepted while the plane was over England through unknown reasons” my ass lmao.
