“Snoop onto them… as they’d snoop onto us.” Moxie Marlinspike, founder of the encrypted messaging app Signal, revealed on Wednesday what he said were vulnerabilities in software that the company Cellebrite uses to break into encrypted phones. To accompany a blog post on what Marlinspike and his team of researchers learned, Signal produced a demonstration video featuring the above line of dialogue from the movie “Hackers.” In a blog post evidently dripping with sarcasm, Marlinspike detailed how he obtained the latest version of the company’s software, named UFED and Physical Analyzer, when he saw a small package fall off the back of a truck, prompting some digital probing. The vulnerabilities would amount to an ironic turn for Cellebrite, which makes its money hacking into smartphones. Its customer base includes the U.S. government and some authoritarian regimes, although the Israeli company recently announced it would stop doing business with Russia or […]

According to Wired, Signal is adding support for the cryptocurrency MobileCoin, “a form of digital cash designed to work efficiently on mobile devices while protecting users’ privacy and even their anonymity.”
Moxie Marlinspike, the creator of Signal and CEO of the nonprofit that runs it, describes the new payments feature as an attempt to extend Signal’s privacy protections to payments with the same seamless experience that Signal has offered for encrypted conversations. “There’s a palpable difference in the feeling of what it’s like to communicate over Signal, knowing you’re not being watched or listened to, versus other communication platforms,” Marlinspike told WIRED in an interview. “I would like to get to a world where not only can you feel that when you talk to your therapist over Signal, but also when you pay your therapist for the session over Signal.”…
This is something I’ve been curious about for some time, regarding these attacks based on the frequency emitted by a keyboard. Is the attacker required to have the frequencies of each key of the target keyboard before hand?

Signal users have begun reporting issues the encrypted messaging app in China, a sign that the government may be adding another chat application to its list of banned services. Signal’s website itself has been banned since Monday, according to Greatfire.org. The app relies on end-to-end encryption, a data protection measure that puta the content of users’ messages and calls outside the government’s reach. Signal also has encountered roadblocks in Iran in recent months, where users began reporting issues in January after Signal experienced a surge of new users. Users in China can still download the app from Apple’s iOS store, and seem to be able to access the app through a virtual private network, according to CNBC. Android stores, on the other hand, no longer list the encrypted app as being available. Signal has been downloaded approximately 100 million times in China, according to data from Sensor Tower, an application […]
