argument about signal's vulnerability is so stupid when they have literally invited journalist to see the data for themselves
it's like saying a room is soundproof for discussing private details while being on a twitch stream
I like how none of these people know how spycraft works when one of the officials was in Russia during these text exchanges, possibly at the Kremlin, and don't think that someone could just peek at their phone screen instead of taking the trouble to hack an app
Don't present them with a vigenere cipher, their brains will melt.
(The trick behind cracking those is neat)
This exchange does remind me of trying to explain to someone that a properly created and used One Time Pad is *literally* impossible to crack, and them going "Nu-uh."
(Note: Not an expert, just took a grad-level cryptography class that took us through the history of codes and code-breaking from a math perspective, it was fun!)
