@jesterchen Yeah, that’s a great point. However, here’s an article in the news today that folks are talking about. Someone deleted the signal app but the notifications were still retrievable. https://www.404media.co/fbi-extracts-suspects-deleted-signal-messages-saved-in-iphone-notification-database-2/

No, Signal has not been hacked. However, we do recommend turning off showing Signal content in notifications because the content is stored in memory on device. Apparently, this memory can be retrieved if an attacker has physical access to an unlocked device and has the right tool.

No, Signal has not been hacked. Spreading false rumors about this is dangerous. There are other ways an actor can gain access to a group chat's messages that don't involve hacking Signal. For instance, you might not be able to to fully vet everyone in a large group intended for volunteers if you are rapidly trying to build up community networks. The people who want you to think Signal is hacked are the same people who are trying to make surveillance easier.

Signal has not been hacked. However, it can't protect you from OpSec fails. lol

No. People yelling about wolves that don't exist, when there are plenty of wolves that do, is harmful to our collective safety. That’s why we created this account.
