Signal was not broken.
The FBI reportedly recovered deleted previews of incoming Signal messages from an iPhone’s notification database after gaining physical access to the device. That means the weak point was the endpoint, not Signal’s encryption.
Secure apps still depend on secure habits. If message previews are on, your phone may be leaking more than you think.
How many people are locking down the app but forgetting the device?
