Vulnerabilities in protected services as a lesson for users
Emails encrypted using PGP and S/MIME, as well as desktop Signal and Telegram messages can be read, which the researchers say is a valuable lesson for users. Recent news points to a possible threat awaiting people who rely on desktop PCs to send encrypted messages. Events involving encrypted emails and messages from Signal and Telegram messengers should in no way discourage people from encrypting. Rather, they should encourage thoughtful use of these apps and services.
