Signal Needs to do Better For its Response to the Anti-Censorship Community

[Batman 007]

Summary

 

A security flaw in Signal was reported in a rude manner. Signal closed the issue calling it a technique by design. Who is right and who is wrong?

But, even then, why can’t they properly address a concern by security researchers? An official tweet about the concern? A blog post to clarify (with a disclaimer) that the proxy implementation isn’t the best solution and is potentially risky for the future or a tougher censorship system?

Not to dismiss the fact that yet another security researcher Sergey Frolovalso claims that he reported some concerns for Signal’s app in the past but did not receive any response either. That does not sound excellent to me.

 

My thoughts

 I think Signal should address this officially.
