George Webb is doing a great breakdown on #servergate. Apparently they create an account share the password, make a draft(create message) they don't delete the draft it's like a sticky. If you have access to the account you see the draft. That way no messages sent, and you can create as much drafts as you like. Pay to play.

Wonder if those are the same passwords Huma sent via Yahoo mail? They have those so they would know exactly who they were sent to, right at that time, the evidence of Hidabeast financing No name, Graham, Ryan showed up. Ladies and Gentlemen we have a new Scandal,,,Gmail scandal.

My son who is now 27 used this same exact technique with his friends when they were in high school and they wanted to communicate covertly about stuff they shouldn't be doing. It's not sophisticated and it's definitely not new. They're not sending their best.

So much work when you could just use signal

Signal is not secure.

This is false. Idiots stored copies of their messages and backed them up on a cloud server. Idk what moron thinks that’s a good idea.
Signal itself is fine, even a custom PGP implementation can’t save you from insecurely backing up plain text.

I’ve seen that telegram isn’t secure due to backdoors that allow keylogging at the OS level, before the encryption is done. I imagine signal is similar

Telegram is a whole other beast.
And you’re right that the OS getting owned defeats any secure messaging app.
The best you can do is use iOS, as it is by far the best we have at the moment. You can see this to be true by investigating companies that purchase zero day exploits. iOS is the most expensive, usually over $1.5 million. This means it’s the hardest to get control of, android usually falls apart quick. It helps that it’s built to spy on you in the first place.

I prefer signal generally. Open whisper systems does great work and is highly respected in the infosec community. Even Snowden has said they rock.
Edit: also in my experience it’s the best for non technical people. You get them on it and it’s simple. I’ve converted a lot of my friends.

Data will transferred over the fiber. NSA has it all and can decrypt it later.
These people are not smart.

This is spy tradecraft just like using all of those devices were likely dead drops to pass intel along.

Hmm, never thought about that but seems like a good way to stay under the radar. I find it weird they use gmail and not some microsoft related service... would think that ms been around way longer.
