Hey all, just noticed something strange and wanted to get some feedback and see if anyone else had noticed anything similar.
Last week when a certain somebody shot and killed a woman on a certain movie set, I searched my §ign@l convo history for a certain actor's name and it yielded 4 results. I found the convo I had been looking for. I was going to take a screenshot but didn't. I figured I could just do it later if I really wanted to send it to someone.
Fast forward to today, things seem to be heating up with the situation with the murderer ("actor") so I go back and search my convo history again to finally take that screenshot after all. No results. I ask my brother if he remembers texting about it. He says yes. So I manually scroll through my entire convo history and when I get to the dates that I recall the texts had been sent, there's almost a full month missing. I asked my bro to check his §ign@l app and sure enough there is nothing from Mar. 1- Mar 27th 2021, same as mine. We text almost everyday..
Has anyone else ever noticed messages disappearing like that? For me to have searched and viewed them last week and for those same messages (and more) to now be missing from both mine and my brother's phone seems like quite the.. Head scratcher?
Surely there's a rational explanation for this? Cheers
Signal is about as secure as it can be according to the company. Meaning it could be essentially the Fort Knox of apps or it could be akin to Swiss cheese as far as security goes.
Your in essence relying mostly on the companies word that everything is ship shape and that there’s been no problems. And since Signal is marketed as being super secure. There’s no particular incentive for the company to tell the truth if their system is compromised. I think it was NordVPN that pulled a similar stunt.
Basically your left relying mostly on the word of the company that it’s secure.
