Shouldn't trust it yet.

Or ever.

TL;dr of the article :

  1. They keep your private key on their servers.
  2. Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
  3. It's closed source.
  4. There's no perfect forward secrecy.

This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.

I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.

They keep your private key on their servers.

Then it's literally not even E2EE, lol

If you chat on Xitter you‘re chatting with mecha Hitler.

It’s just MITM but with extra steps

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

XChat, has some red flags.

With a white circle and a swastika inside?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

probably??? try definitely and ever

[–] Netrunner@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Brain damaged people trust x again.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Hey y'all. Reminder not to trust a platform owned and operated by a Nazi manchild.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

offering me end-to-end encrypted chat

No one - not even X - can access or read your messages

This key is then stored on X’s servers

So...they're just blatantly lying?

It's encrypted with a 4 digit pin so they'll have to spend at least 316.8809e-10 years on brute-forcing it.

[–] lando55@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's why my PIN is 5 digits: 12345

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

One. Two. Three. Four. Five?

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

If you trust ANYTHING Musk has for you well then have I got a bridge to sell you.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

~~shouldn't trust it yet~~ shouldn't trust it ever

[–] Mohamad20ZX@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

I hope Elon musk gets cancelled(cancer) for this useless nonsensical black box

[–] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

"xchat" sounds like one of those porn chat rooms

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

LOL nope. I'd use anything else. As in NO X.

It was eyerolling back when that dickhead decided to sell blue checkmarks instead of issuing them only to verified celebrities.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yet? More like never.

[–] edgarzen@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Signal and encrypted email only.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Friends and I swapped our group chat to Signal the day Trump was inaugurated...the first time.

If things keep going the way they are, no one should be communicating on anything but encrypted messaging apps.

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 weeks ago

Our good friend Elon cannot be trusted? I don't believe you, this must be propaganda to discredit his good manners.
