TL;dr of the article :
- They keep your private key on their servers.
- Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
- It's closed source.
- 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.
What is the "A" in "AITM"?
Administrator
Anyone
It’s just MITM but with extra steps
Apple
Asshole
XChat, has some red flags.
With a white circle and a swastika inside?
probably??? try definitely and ever
Brain damaged people trust x again.
Hey y'all. Reminder not to trust a platform owned and operated by a Nazi manchild.
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

That's why my PIN is 5 digits: 12345
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.
~~shouldn't trust it yet~~ shouldn't trust it ever
I hope Elon musk gets cancelled(cancer) for this useless nonsensical black box
"xchat" sounds like one of those porn chat rooms
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.
Yet? More like never.
Signal and encrypted email only.
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.
Our good friend Elon cannot be trusted? I don't believe you, this must be propaganda to discredit his good manners.
