Whatever it is those incompetent clowns are doing over there in 'murica, I got multiple contacts who weren't on Signal popping up there in the last day or two.

It's good advertising for the service at least!

Haha, good one!

Is this an illustration of a side channel attack? #notacryptoexpert

@astrosilje @veronica No, it is not a side channel; The Atlantic is in the same channel as Alice and Bob. I would usually call it eavesdropping, but they were invited into the conversation, so it is more like just observing what's going on.
Not sure who made the edit, but the original illustration is from Wikipedia.

BRB rewriting my Encryption training deck to change comms actors to Alice, Bob, and Jeffrey Goldberg.

@Sempf I noticed that the illustration is modified from the Alice and Bob Wikipedia page. 😁
@veronica Heh, good reuse! It's pretty funny, in a not funny way.

@veronica

Eve gets a job as a reporter and is invited to the conversation.

Hacker voice "I'm in"

@veronica I am so going to find a way to work this into the training I teach at work.
@veronica classic Media in the Middle attack!

@veronica And yet, it was Hegseth who texted Goldberg. Mustn't lose sight of that amidst the idiocy of Nat. Sec. Waltz's ridiculous excuses.
@veronica this should be the header on The Atlantic's front page :)
@veronica almost right, but in reality it was even simpler in that Bob works at the Atlantic and there was no interloper in the middle. Classic nobody-in-the-middle attack.

@ottaross @veronica

Exactly. This illustration leaves the impression that a Signal chat can be intercepted somehow. Which is only possible if you compromise the device(s).

Here, not a bug, but a feature was used. When you are part of a group you can read all the messages of other group members.

Just to make that clear again.

@aerofreak @ottaross @veronica I was thinking the same thing... we all are 🀣
but it is really funny though
