🚨 Russian hackers target Signal and WhatsApp accounts of officials and military personnel.

The Dutch intelligence services ( #MIVD & #AIVD ) confirm a large-scale campaign using fake support bots to steal verification codes.

Three observations:
1️⃣ It is bizarre that politicians and high-ranking officials use commercial US apps (WhatsApp/Signal on AWS/Google servers) instead of a closed, government-owned system. Absurd.
2️⃣ I am glad that secure European alternatives like Session, Delta Chat, or Element/Matrix are excluded from this disaster.
3️⃣ Yet, they talk about "sovereignty" while ignoring these solutions, continuing to use American apps vulnerable to Russian hacking. This is our Europe.

🚨 Gli hacker russi prendono di mira gli account Signal e WhatsApp di funzionari e militari.

I servizi segreti olandesi ( #MIVD & #AIVD ) confermano una campagna su larga scala tramite falsi bot di supporto per rubare codici di verifica.

Tre considerazioni:
1️⃣ È bizzarro che politici e alti comandi usino app commerciali USA (WhatsApp/Signal su server AWS/Google) invece di un sistema chiuso e governativo. Assurdo
2️⃣ Mi fa piacere che alternative europee sicure come Session, Delta Chat o Element/Matrix siano escluse da questo disastro.
3️⃣ Si parla di "sovranità" ma si ignorano queste soluzioni, continuando a usare app americane hackerabili dai russi. Questa è la nostra Europa
