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

Yes. Wikileaks does just this & it works. Passed off random email lists as "Turkey AKP emails"—it worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/839204691305181184 …

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

Is there any reason to assume there are not foreign governments with the same capabilities? Esp if CIA is using stolen malware?
