Warning for those who use the Signal app.

The recent National Terror Threat Warning released by the Fed comes from them analyzing comms of the Signal app. Yes, the Fed can look inside all that "weak" encrypted stuff!

This sounds a lot like the guy posting early on in the covid thread about protein spikes and vitamin D dumps killing your kidneys or some such.
And vaguely constructed like the Sasquatch and llama thread.  

Nothing is secure in your conversations and plans.  Bank on that.  
Keep your close group small, your info brief and don’t tell EVERY damn thing you know to people you DON’T know.

It's almost certainly info gathered from point-of-use attacks (i.e. they either are in possession of, or bugging*, the phone someone is sending Signal-encrypted messages/calls to), rather than "FBI Surveillance Person #54356261" decrypting Signal transmissions in real/near-real time.

The encryption is sound....it's the tradecraft (or lack thereof) that makes the traffic vulnerable.




*-in this case, "bugging" includes them loading (or tricking you into loading) malware onto your phone that lets them read in/listen in to all your traffic and activities.

A year ago Google's qubit platform solved a 10,000yr problem in 3min ! The fastest best supercomputer vs Google qubit.
You believe Google is ahead of the govt in computing? I will bet ya the govt is about 100-1000 better than anything Google has made public (just a hunch, wink wink).

Yes, but good symmetric encryption is a million year problem.   So with Quantum computing its a 10,000 year problem.  

Your info is about high bit count public key encryption, using the factorization of large numbers, it's not about true symmetric private key encryption.   You still need to securely share the private key, so there is a systemic vulnerability, but if you share it via secure methods AES is still impractical to brute force and it gets exponentially worse as the key length increases.   Barring a flaw in the algo it's still a problem.

Which is why they probably don't bother trying, there are easier ways.

The Feds like the old technology since their GSM based Stingray 'fake' cell towers aren't compatible with the new LTE standards.  To get by this they jam your LTE signal and force your phone to downshift to GSM.  They can't do this everywhere but they can intercept old GSM phone at mass scale if they deploy the technology.  You can disable the GSM frequencies in your phone, but you lose some service options in rural areas.

To move lots of data real fast , use internet-2 (you can't use internet-2 btw).
To scrub and chomp on data real fast, use qubit computing (crypto miners know about this, so why not you?)

Back doors for the Fed are passe, there's no need to back door into any one device. They can collect all the data and then easily cherry pick out the data streams of interest, and then feed that to the qubit scrubbers, which can decrypt very fast!

The Fed can also catalog all internet traffic, and archive it. Storage space is no issue. The internet as you know it is limited in ability to transmit data, it can only produce so much data for any given time period, and the Fed can easily take it all in.

It isn't really material, but that feels low to me too. A minute of 4k video is about 375 mb. So 3000 terabytes is only about eight million people worldwide streaming 4k video at the same time. That's only about 4% of Netflix's worldwide subscribers. And that's excluding all other internet traffic.

The key point though, as you mentioned, is that the internet has a fucking lot of data.

Believe nothing OP says, this entire thread account is a psyop attempt to dissuade the right from using encryption. Why would this kid name himself CryptoKnight and then start a thread about how using encryption is compromised and useless? Someone page Norcal for an IP check. Guarantee you he's behind proxies.

Not saying Signal is secure, either.

A "psyop"? That alone is fairly telling.
Nobody said to not use encryption. Feel free to highlight that if they did.
