        The article explains everything. The gist is Russians are targeting Ukrainians with phishing attacks via Signal. There also is the suggestion they’re exploiting the linked devices functionality, though I’m not sure how.

          Appreciate this, I don’t click links lol

          Apparently if they can get you to scan some bogus qr code they can get you add their device to your account.

          Why signal not cooperating tho? Following us government?

            …I don’t click links…

            I strongly suggest doing so if you want to understand what the article is about

            Not sure. Might be political tension. Might be that phishing attacks are typically user error, and Signal feels like at a certain point it’s not their responsibility. Hard to say beyond conjecture, and I didn’t see a clear reason given in the article.
