Rumors have been circulating that the encrypted chat app has a bad vulnerability. There's no evidence to support that, execs say.
Over the weekend, rumors circulated that Signal, one of the most trusted encrypted chat apps on the web, had a pretty bad zero-day vulnerability. The claims, which have now been all but debunked, swiftly caused a panic in the infosec community. Security site BleepingComputer reports that “numerous sources” reached out about the supposed bug, with some alleging they’d heard it was so bad that it could lead to “a full takeover of devices.
“Important PSA for those who received the odd viral report of a vuln in Signal. After investigating: WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT THE REPORT IS REAL,” Whittaker tweeted. Following Signal’s response, some security pros criticized the hysteria that led to the claims going viral.
