Isn’t WhatsApp end-to-end encrypted?
Yes it is, they actually use the signal protocol,[0] but they collect metadata which Signal supposedly doesn't (you can't really know) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_Protocol#:~:text=Severa...
Look at what data they can provide to governments when compelled by law: https://signal.org/bigbrother/
So a few days ago Elon Musk blocked all links to Signal from the X platform and now this... Could be a coincidence but the timing sure is sus.

Trump and his voters.

So what?
Totally agreed that it's out of bounds to label all Trump voters as rednecks & white nationalists. But not sure where you're getting that: read upthread. No one said anything like that. Just "Russia-aligned state actors". Which is also pretty silly.
But in a way, it's worse than all that. If his supporters were actually all rednecks & white nationalists (or Russia-aligned state actors), at least we could say, "well, the country is actually full of shitty, uneducated, racist people, so I guess this actually is the will of the people". But right, that's not the case. Instead, Trump and the GOP have lied and manipulated to the point they've managed to dupe a much more diverse group of people into believing in Trump. Or, at the very least, into believing that the system needs to burn in order for it to be remade in a way that will serve these people's interests.
All this is a crock, of course, and there are already quite a few surprised and upset Trump voters who have experienced an interruption or loss of some government service that they depend on. So ok, let's expand it the list. Sure, there are rednecks & white nationalists. But there are also just regular ol' idiots who fell for Trump's nonsense. And actively awful people who are fine with a lot of others getting hurt, just to spite the current establishment.
They provided some domains, but not all of them are taken. For example, signal-protect[.]host is available, kropyva[.]site is available, signal-confirm[.]site is registered in Ukraine. Some of them are registered in Russia. Never trust a country at war—any side. Party A blames B, Party B blames A, but both have their own agenda.
The WHOIS is usually fake made up data so don't know why you are using that to claim it's registered in Ukraine. Russia is also known to use stolen credentials, SIM cards etc. from their neighbouring countries, including Ukraine, for things like this.
"Russia-aligned threat actors" has a whole new meaning this last week.

Complaining about the comment isn't witty, contain useful information, or promote discussion either.
I would recommend being the change you want to see in the world (or avoid political threads).

Russia fucking up the worlds stuff this decade will be the material for history books. The are actively breaking Europe and almost noone seems to care.

Nobody labeled Trump voters as "redneck, white nationalists" in this thread. The claim was that Trump and his voters are "Russia-aligned", which is obvious at least for Trump and his immediate admin appointees.
You can check for unexpected linked devices in the settings menu.
I wonder if Signal should expose linked devices directly in the UI at all times. Something like a small icon that indicates "You have 3 linked devices active" or similar.
EDIT: Like an analytics based approach would probably be far more useful - popping up a confirmation for example if GeoIP shows a device is far removed from all the others, which for most people would be true unless they were traveling.
It is not plainly stated in the article, but as far as I understand, the first step of one of the attacks is to take the smartphone off a dead soldier’s body.
The article says they phish people into linking adversarial devices to their Signal: > [...] threat actors have resorted to crafting malicious QR codes that, when scanned, will link a victim's account to an actor-controlled Signal instance. If successful, future messages will be delivered synchronously to both the victim and the threat actor in real-time, [...]
