Holy shit. Talk about getting owned.
Testing a new encrypted messaging app's extraordinary claims
3 years ago by Threen to c/programming
Thanks for sharing. Such an interesting read. I've read many times about databases being exposed publicly, but when a company explicitly states they are using state of the art security and drag other companies through the mud... Man, that really takes the cake.
I shudder to think what it must be like to be a developer there, knowing they're lying so blatently.
In the timeline at the bottom it says:
2023-05-05: Converso asks: 'How were you able to decompile the source code of the app and what do you think should be done to protect against that in the future?'
So I think some of the devs were in way over their heads too!
In the list of features of their app, they've somehow "trademarked" Sensors Off™ and Screenshot Protect™, like they're some kinds of novel features

I... don't think I've ever read about the ball being dropped this hard on anything before. This is incredible.
