@micahflee@infosec.exchange that's wild. I often worry my amateur code might not be up to scratch on security but even I know you don't MD5 the password on the client or expose the memory dumps publicly...

@micahflee@infosec.exchange MD5? Seriously? MD5 was considered useless over 16 years ago. SMH. This is pure Security Theatre. The tickets are free. #SignalGate

@micahflee@infosec.exchange You already looked into all these connections right? Also Guy Levit (TeleMessage founder and CEO) and his long career in IDF intelligence?
