E2E solid—revelation. Nation-states try to hack phones—no revelation. CIA can't keep (oldish) hoard safe—revelation.https://twitter.com/whispersystems/status/839204973921501184 …

Right. Signal seems fine. Don't get malware onto your phone. Use a dedicated phone for sensitive stuff etc. https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/07/is-signal-app-safe-wikileaks/ …pic.twitter.com/xH2s3lBJnf

Oversight of spying & surveillance capabilities of nations & others is a crucial topic. Important. All the more reason to be right, precise.

Seeing a few corrections but the misinformation is out there—goal of confusion accomplished. The CIA dump doesn't show what is reported.

Internet connected devices are notoriously insecure. Iphones are toughest. Non-Google android phones are a joke. Encryption appers unbroken.

Reporters kept parroting their "press releases" in rush to scoop. Still haven't learned. They are not reliable. https://twitter.com/mgerrydoyle/status/839484010472431616 …

Is this partially due to a lack of technical staff/resources available for journos to parse these dumps?
