Hey @thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org

Catchy but misleading title...

The 2nd paragraph of the article reads:

> To be clear, this is not a security issue in #Signal. Instead, threat actors are more commonly utilizing the messaging platform as part of their phishing attacks due to its increased usage by governments worldwide.

@9x0rg@mamot.fr I never edit titles. Please direct your concerns to the outlet in question, in this case @BleepingComputer@infosec.exchange
