@signalapp So, the Verify Your Pin so you don't forget it message I got few weeks ago is as bogus as I thought it was? Dumb question, but can I click on the message so I can remove it?

@signalapp thanks for sharing this. This could have been a blog 😉

@signalapp clicking “Account” leaves only one choice: “delete all data.” Is Signal on IOS different from the version you are using?

@signalapp „report a pish“ feature?

@signalapp I wonder what the motivation behind this attack is. There's no money to be made from stealing Signal accounts, except maybe by extortion.

@signalapp that's not the pop up for checking your code?

@signalapp could you hinder people to pose as Signal support?

@signalapp you know when criminals call old people, telling them they were their grandkids, got into trouble and urgently need money? It's called "Enkeltrick" in Germany and what happened here

@signalapp First question that pops up: Why the hell is anyone allowed to pose as something similar as „Signal support“? Second: How is such an organisation allowed to use a system Like Signal? How does Signal apply to the legal needs of such Orgs? It seems that there are some serious issues here because the told features of Signal stand in contrast to legal needs (audits?), but Im no expert in this topic.

@signalapp Very well handled! Much appreciated.

@signalapp@mastodon.world I am trying to work out why Registration Lock is not on by default. In particular, why would you be able to set a PIN and not set Registration Lock? I can imagine a use case where someone didn't want a PIN at all, though that shouldn't be the default in a secure messaging app. But why PIN and no lock?

@signalapp@mastodon.world what about a "government mode" which needs a second account to be involved to do these things. Of course it needs to be set up, which is then not done by politicians because too cumbersome.

@signalapp@mastodon.world If you want to do everything you can to help people avoid and detect Signal Support scams, then please stop disguising your Signal communication and advertisment among my Signal Chats, like in my screenshot I attach here.
