News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

BBB was a mess. It's security and privacy may be great on paper (open source, self hosted). But that's the lawyer's side.

In practice: BBB had server-side mute, so your muted microphone would still send audio to the server. Servers could be compromised through uploaded documents (processed by LibreOffice).

The biggest problems might have been fixed by now. But self hosting half baked software isn't an alternative to most.

But what exactly went wrong with signal here?

Could someone remotely instruct my signal client to share media? Previously sent or arbitrary files?

How can an unencrypted copy of some media end up at the wrong user? Isn't that supposed to be end-to-end encrypted, especially when stored on the signal servers?
