Joseph CoxThis is insane: TeleGuard, a 'secure' chat app downloaded more than a million times, uploads users' private keys, meaning the company can decrypt messages. And anyone can get anyone else's private key by just sending the user ID to the API. Possibly worst ever https://www.404media.co/a-secure-chat-apps-encryption-is-so-bad-it-is-meaningless/
Sir David Nielsen@josephcox this is so insane it almost feels like a honeypot setup by the police.
Rusty ShacklefordAs someone who looked at teleGuard and ALWAYS assumed honeypot. This fucking tracks.
DeManiak 🇿🇦 🐧-The Stinkening@josephcox who wants to bet the words "vibe" and "coded" were involved?
Bill@josephcox Let me guess. It was vibe coded, right?
Stijn van Drongelen@Sempf @josephcox It launched in 2021, so perhaps a bit too soon for that.
@stiiin @josephcox You are probably right.
That said, I cut code using OpenAI in 2021 with the API, and it worked but was bad enough that I still stand by what I said. Or maybe it was old fashioned bad architecture - that is more likely.
Klaus Frank@josephcox That has to be a honey pot. It has to be. It is so bad nobody would ever....
mike805@agowa338 @josephcox People paid large amounts of money for EncroChat, which was a honeypot.
These were drug dealers with some street smarts, who had experience of IRL stings and rip offs.
They would have been much better off to get a TracFone at Walmart and load up Signal.
Signal has repeatedly shown its empty pockets in response to court orders.
Oh right EncroChat was the name of that other honeypot I was thinking about.
