✨George Michael✨
"Careless Whisper" no es solo una canción, es una herida elegante.
Ese saxo que entra despacio y te aprieta el pecho, esa voz que confiesa sin alzarla… George Michael sabía convertir la culpa, el deseo y la nostalgia en belleza pura.
Hay canciones que no se escuchan: se quedan.

Careless whisper - Privacy issue with instant messengers. Signal's response - a critique
This paper here arxiv.org/pdf/2411.11194 revealed the Careless whisper privacy issue with instant messaging platforms like whatsapp and signal. The issue exists because these messengers produce a silent delivery receipt for any message sent to a user. Just by knowing a users phone number a tracker can send some malformed messages and over a period of time create a profile of the users behaviour patterns.

While research papers of these kind keep coming up once in a while, what is different this time is, this is implemented in a tool and is available for people to use. (github.com/gommzystudio/device-activity-tracker) and this allows anyone to do stealthy tracking of signal and whatsapp users (cyberinsider.com/tool-allows-stealthy-tracking-of-signal-and-whatsapp-users-through-delivery-receipts/).

Here is a medium article explaining this in detail (medium.com/@coduronin/careless-whisper-stalking-you-in-silence-8d242bfa680a)

While #signal is known for its gold standard encryption protocol and their penchant determination to collect as little metadata as possible about their users, sometime their response to security issues like this is pretty pathetic.

There had been a patch submitted and discussion happened in the signal github (github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/pull/14463), but quite worryingly it's closed. What's more, the signal dev team is saying even technical discussions can't happen on their github. The other alternative for signal related discussions I have seen is the Signal community (community.signalusers.org/). But honestly I have not seen signal developers engaging in any discussions there other than in the beta feedback or special feature feedback threads. Moreover any serious discussion of this kind in that community is normally biased with a bunch of signal fanboys there defending signal's decisions (or the lack of it).

This behaviour of signal team is pretty disappointing. It is fine even if there are no immediate solutions, but the first step of solving a problem is to acknowledge there is one, which the signal team apparently is reluctant to do in this case.

@Mer__edith @signalapp I would expect some serious technical discussion is encouraged on this topic and a solution is arrived at.

@kuketzblog Die Einstellung gibt es bei https://molly.im/ jedoch nicht bei Signal(Android), Herr Kuketz.

Um dies gänzlich zu beheben, muss es von Signal (Client + Server) gepatched werden.

Die Molly-Entwickler wollen jedoch ebenfalls Custom-Fixes bereitstellen.

Pendant que #signalapp sort son nouveau système de poll.

Des chercheur , ont révélé des vulnérabilités dans les messagerie E2E ( whatsapp et signal )

Vulgarisé ici https://youtu.be/B9Syj555RQc

Pourtant, selon l'auteur. Il y aurait des solutions. Mais @signalapp aurait ignoré ces avertissements.

J'espère qu'il se trompe et que la fondation s'en vient avec des solutions. Dans tous les cas, si l'affaire ne fait pas assez de bruit. Nous ne seront pas entendu.
