Sigh. This—"CIA/NSA has expensive, targeted ways to hack some phones"—has been widely reported long ago; doesn't mean apps don't work.
Messages can be read IF your is hacked (not news; doesn't relate to Signal or anything else) or someone stands behind your (not news).
zeynep tufekci Retweeted DEY!
Oh, look, @matthew_d_green is reading the dump; and just retweeted this. (hint reporters: see if you can call him).https://twitter.com/DEYCrypt/status/839158356547944450 …

This—not what's being sensationally & incorrectly being reported about Signal etc.—is the story. The actual story

Yeay! @nytimes is updating, correcting. Other outlets, please follow the example & see thread for list of experts.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/839161021369573378 …

OH: "Encryption pushed intelligence agencies from undetectable mass surveillance to high-risk, expensive, targeted attacks." <--THE STORY.

If you read the story right: Signal and WhatsApp work! (need to hack phones). CIA can't secure its 0days (hey!).https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/839176366364975104 …

Also, story of the day; reporting on tech & encryption stories without teaming up with tech experts not a good idea.https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/839167306873741312 …

Another good thread & great expert. Encryption (Signal, WhatsApp) works; but keeping your phone secure is crucial.https://twitter.com/mattblaze/status/839165637733806084 …

Yep. We learned: encryption works, and wow, someone wanted to dump these (now outdated) stuff all at once. https://twitter.com/ncweaver/status/839179237433176065 …

Signal responds, correctly pointing out we now learned that end-to-end encryption works—and is a formidable barrier.https://twitter.com/whispersystems/status/839204754718932992 …

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 …
