There was an Apple bug that allowed restoring information from their notification system. So Apple leaked info from Apps that used the notifications. From any App. Why is this talking about Signal? Why not a “Apple patches bug that allowed access to E2E encrypted WhatsApp messages”? Why not “bug that allowed access to your call history even after deletion”? Because those are all equally true. What’s reason we are talking about Signal here.

And to add more context: the exact same was true for the other “Signal bug/hack/exploit” articles I mentioned. No actual connection to Signal at all, yet that was always the story told.

Apple fucks up an leaks all private information that passes through their notification system? “Bug that allowed to read Signal messages!” Idiot fell for phishing attempt and logged into a fake website giving someone else full access to their device? “Hacker managed to access XY’s Signal account!”. I left my door standing wide open when leaving to work and got robbed? “Doors don’t actually protect your stuff!”
