As top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia

That's treason.

They try to play themselves off as communists but I can't say I've ever seen a single one of them make a legitimate comment about communist ideals. What they really are is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Chinese and Russian governments.
Historically, groups that have "communist" in their name have been Soviet mouthpieces. Not all of them, and the ideology doesn't require it by any means, but it happened a lot. Conversely, if they had "socialist" in their name, they were more likely to want nothing to do with that shit.

Important reminder. Why is this downvoted?
Because it's largely irrelevant? If someone says "This is the best lock you can use on your front door" and someone else replies "not if you leave the key in the lock" do you think that's a important thing to mention? No lock is safe if you leave the key in the lock. Maybe it's important to remind people that you shouldn't leave your key in the lock, but that statement says nothing about the security of the lock.
Similarly maybe it's important to remind people that their phones might already be rooted, but that statement says nothing about whether Signal is good or bad from a security point of view.

Hang them all
The French Revolution can't come back soon enough

Why monitor what he went there to inform them about?
Who's to say this member in Russia doesn't live there...
-
Who thinks Putin doesn't intercept these chats?

Who thinks Putin doesn't intercept these chats?
Who thinks he needs to intercept them?
He was probably told before any of these guys.

I'm sure that everyone, including trump will feel the full force of the law. The FBI will immediately investigate make arrest and punish everyone involved in this blatant act of anti-patriotism and treason.
Right?

Might want to read up on what happened after all that... Because... yeah.

That's treason.
Oh they know. We know.

Looks like Russia won the ideological war and will be exporting authoritarianism to the globe.
will be?
They already have — quite successfully.

Goons. Absolute apes
An insult to apes.

As far as I'm aware the encryption can't really be broken given the current amount of compute. Is anyone aware of what potential vulnerabilities there could be to the Signal protocol outside of brute forcing? How hard is it to crack a private public key exchange?
One of the biggest issues is they can be recorded and potentially decrypted in the future once quantum computing attacks become feasible. At the moment, the cryptography in Signal (or similar) has no known vulnerabilities that would make it vulnerable to practical attacks given reasonable assumptions about the technology that exists in the world at the moment.

Less. If someone has root privs on your phone they can screenshot without your notice and send those shots wherever they want, encryption or self-deleting messaging apps be damned.
So if Google has root privileges (does it automatically on Android? ) then they can screenshot whatever they like?

I mean, they provide the operating system and push updates to your phone via a trusted channel, so yeah you're kinda extending them 100% trust already. I'm more thinking about malware authors here though; criminals or governments (or criminal governments) slipping shady shit onto your phone without your noticing.

Russia is communist? You might want to update your maps.
Do you have brainrot or something? What kind of leaps did you go through to come to this conclusion that I have implied this in any way?
I was referring to ml users as "dirty commies", not Russia.

Full texts got released! See update on the Atlantic!

Stories like this are exactly why cybersecurity isn’t just about encryption or tools—it’s about understanding behavior, risks, and exposure across systems. Platforms like cyberupgrade.net help orgs get better at that by automating risk awareness and internal training, especially for non-technical teams.

As a long time poster at all types of Lemmy instances, I still don't get why people don't like lemmy.ml
Can someone ELI5?
They are tankies.
tankies are generally people who believe in marxist-leninist, or some other form of socialist beliefs. on its own, it isnt a problem
but these people are also intrinsically gullible consumers and advocates of Russian propaganda, because they cant seem to understand Russia stopped being a socialist country 30-40 years ago, and its just a capitalist mafia state now. But they are programmed to associate their ideology with "The motherland".
America bad, West bad, NATO bad, therfor, anything that opposes them must be good?
advocate for the people who will kill you without a second thought.
Thats .ml and tankies for you
