Here are the four paragraphs of conclusion from that clickbaity piece ("Is Signal safe?") by @protonprivacy about @signalapp that is doing rounds.

1. "Signal remains widely regarded as the gold standard for secure private messaging for very good reasons. The Signal Protocol is extremely secure, and unlike most other apps that use the Signal Protocol, Signal collects almost no metadata from the Signal app."

- finalizing the design of a Hardware Security Module (HSM) signing solution

- finalizing the detailed provisioning plan for the signing process

- trying to figure out how to sustainably access and publish OS security patches in the face of #Google's meddling and gradual closing of Android code.

Also, they are hiring:

A public service announcement regarding CVEs: one identified vulnerability gets one #CVE.

Each vendor doesn't get their own CVE that corresponds to their security bulletin.

CVE-2025-66478 is REJECTED as duplicate of CVE-2025-55182

I was renewing an #Insurance policy this morning and they said they no longer accept @protonprivacy emails addresses because 'they are associated with fraud'. WTAF?

They used my #Protonmail address happily for 3 years. Where has this change come from? Is this #BigTech selling #CyberSec #InfoSec products which just happen to lock end users into their products?

#Allianz since you asked.
