Wow, this is straight-up fraud. Goes to show that nobody should trust extraordinary claims from closed-source developers.
Yes, this isn't your average "junior engineer introduces minor bug, exposes volnerability" type of problem, this is very clearly "we know very well this is terrible but we're selling it using a bunch of buzzwords, so we couldn't care less"...
Sadly there aren't a lot of meaningful legal mechanisms to sue these types of scams
Even Signal, the gold standard of encrypted messaging Who actually believes this? Journos don't count, of course.
Converso is not open source lol, lmao
Are you asking who believes that signal is the gold standard? Other encrypted chat services implement "the signal protocol" now, so... if not gold, it's at least standard.
Their encryption might be good but signal itself is glowie as fuck.
