Session is insecure? : OpSec | Torhoo darknet markets

e read that there are some security failures in session, which level of failures are we talking about?
There are negative rumors about every messaging app, including session.

To be clear, there is no one tool that is guarantee privacy and anonymity. Best is to manually PQC PGP encrypt/decrypt in a offline computer and transport the encrypted files with a SD-Card, USB-stick or DVD to an online computer where you have your "secure" messaging/file transfer app.

i read something about suspicious funding choices

to me this sounds like the feds got to them

i wonder when we will start seeing messaging apps developed by people who are not doxxed

stupid ass devs think they're protected by laws but they're not

⚠️ Researcher publishes weaknesses of Session, and they respond. A lot of what they say is probably valid but their reason for removing PFS is still something that has to be understood better⚠️

⚠️Session explains why they removed PFS, basically that it wasn't compatible with their protocol.⚠️

⚠️ Pressure from AU government forced them to move operations to Sweden. ⚠️

My opinion has more optimism than most. They have shown to be open of anything brought against them and are trying their best to be good at what they do. I do not have enough brain to understand the removal of PFS but I think that for most use cases it is fine to use Session if you use it with Tor or at very least a VPN. They do have their own onion routing but there havent been any cases where it has shown to be more effective compared to Tor. Every application has flaws but look for the ones that actually try to respond to criticism.
