In order to help protect people from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal introduced new user flows and in-app warnings. This work has been completed for some time and is unrelated to any current events. 5/

The memo used the term ‘vulnerability’ in relation to Signal—but it had nothing to do with Signal’s core tech. It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users. 3/

One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: npr.org/2025/03/25/n.... 2/

Right now a single technical organization is being asked to defend (at least) one side in a major regional war, the political communications of the entire US administration, the communications of anyone opposed to that administration, big piles of NGOs, and millions of “ordinary” folks to boot.
