Passend zum #did: "Tech-Konzerne denken nicht an einen sofortigen Stopp ihrer Überwachungsmaßnahmen. Google, Meta, Microsoft und die Snapchat-Mutter Snap kündigten am Samstag in einer gemeinsamen Erklärung an, dass sie „weiterhin freiwillige Maßnahmen ergreifen werden“, um entsprechendes Material auf ihren Plattformen zu identifizieren."

We personally would never settle for something less than #e2ee, full native apps on android/ios and easy sharing with friends/family in original quality.
That's why we built #zeitkapsl.
When a CEO of a encrypted messaging app does this, after having vulnerabilities verified by trail of bits, run in the other direction:
'told 404 Media in a LinkedIn direct message: “The information is incorrect! The person who gave you the technical information has completely misled you. That person is not competent!”'

Der Privatsphäre- & Sicherheits-Alptraum TeleGuard
Vertrauen verspielt?
A Secure #Chat App’s #Encryption Is So Bad It Is ‘Meaningless’
TeleGuard, an app that markets itself as a secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging platform …implements its encryption so poorly that an attacker can trivially access a user’s private key & decrypt their messages,…#TeleGuard also uploads users’ private keys to a company server, … could decrypt its users’ messages, & the key can also at least partially be derived from simply intercepting a user’s traffic

With over 3 billion users globally, mobile instant messaging apps have become indispensable for both personal and professional communication. Besides plain messaging, many services implement additional features such as delivery and read receipts informing a user when a message has successfully reached its target. This paper highlights that delivery receipts can pose significant privacy risks to users. We use specifically crafted messages that trigger delivery receipts allowing any user to be pinged without their knowledge or consent. By using this technique at high frequency, we demonstrate how an attacker could extract private information such as the online and activity status of a victim, e.g., screen on/off. Moreover, we can infer the number of currently active user devices and their operating system, as well as launch resource exhaustion attacks, such as draining a user's battery or data allowance, all without generating any notification on the target side. Due to the widespread adoption of vulnerable messengers (WhatsApp and Signal) and the fact that any user can be targeted simply by knowing their phone number, we argue for a design change to address this issue.
