Also it took them a year to fully address?!
"He also pointed to the disclosure timeline, as set out in the paper, and how it took Meta nearly a year to provide a meaningful response to the numerous tickets they raised throughout the research process."

Quedó comprobado que #Signal utiliza los servidores de Amazon que, al momento de sufrir un colapso, la mensajería quedaría fuera de servicio.

in reply to Tuta • • •No offense. This seems to be pretty fuddy to me. The data that "leaked" was just the public data, like phone number, status text, pfp, etc.
Don't put anyhting you don't want public on a social media platform.

in reply to Tuta • • •“To our surprise, neither our IP address nor our accounts have been blocked by WhatsApp. Moreover, we did not experience any prohibitive rate-limiting. With our query rate of 7,000 phone numbers per second (and session), we could confirm 3.5 billion phone numbers registered on WhatsApp”
