In light of recent events, I want to remind everyone that end-to-end encryption doesn't prevent you from adding the editor of the Atlantic to your private group chats.

Ah, the classic "complete bumbling doofus" attack, against which all known encryption is powerless.
@silvermoon82 @soatok I like when they redact lines in a document but don't realize it's just a black bar on the page and the text is still in the binary .doc
@CubeRootOfTrue@mathstodon.xyz unfortunately, many staff have solved this problem by just rasterizing everything, including documents that used to be machine readable :(
At least OCR is much better these days
@CubeRootOfTrue@mathstodon.xyz @silvermoon82@wandering.shop @soatok@furry.engineer
tbh imo thats the softwares fault for being unintuitive
@m @soatok @silvermoon82 Very true, this has always been the biggest problem with crypto software. If you use it wrong, it breaks in ways you can't identify.
