Il techbro Jack Dorsey rastrella finanziamenti dai fondi di investimento, rilascia una app ciofeca e si fa fare l'assessment da programmatori indipendenti di buona volontà

Nel weekend Dorsey ha lanciato #Bitchat, un'app di chat open source, che ha promesso sarà "sicura" e "privata". Ma poi ecco un avviso: "l'app non è stata testata o esaminata per problemi di sicurezza: non fidatevi!" 🤣

Gli esperti di sicurezza stanno già trovando delle falle.

Sounds like Bitchat was truly vibe coded and the key system in place was just not doing anything.

There’s a future to mesh and decentralized messaging protocol. But you can’t vibe code that shit.

Bitchat, Jack Dorseys neuer Messenger, will Bluetooth-Chats ohne Internet und zentrale Server ermöglichen – verschlüsselt, anonym, dezentral. Klingt innovativ, ist aber längst nicht neu: Briar macht das seit Jahren, stabil und quelloffen. Der Hype um Bitchat wirkt eher wie ein PR-Vehikel.
