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

      These kinds of exploits don’t just let them read everyone’s traffic over the ‘net at the push of a button. (8/)

      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 We learned: encryption works, and wow, someone wanted to dump these (now outdated) stuff all at once.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 …

      The CIA/Wikileaks story today is about getting malware onto phones, none of the exploits are in Signal or break Signal Protocol encryption.

      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 …

      Ubiquitous e2e encryption is pushing intelligence agencies from undetectable mass surveillance to expensive, high-risk, targeted attacks.

      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

      After all these leaks, one thing that remains mostly a big question mark is NSA’s cryptanalytic capability. Almost nothing leaked about it.

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

      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 …

      I noticed this when an activist was arrested in Iran and journalists copy pasted Iran gov't press release as the story. Laziness.

      .@RojaBandari yep. Worse, @Info_Activism gets funded to inform activitists of digital security issues, you'd think they would be discerning.
