Signal faces scrutiny following a series of phishing-based account hijackings. As previously reported, attackers impersonated Signal support staff to trick users into revealing registration codes and PINs, enabling them to re-register accounts on devices under their control. Signal clarified that its infrastructure and encryption were not compromised, attributing the incidents entirely to social engineering.
It was mostly German conservative figures falling for the phishing attack, and it’s mostly German conservatives demanding this right now. So they’re responding in a characteristically conservative fashion: zero self-awareness, zero competence in the matter, but righteousness cranked all the way up to eleven.
I got scammed therefore Signal insecure. Got it.
