    The entire article seems like an attack. The author finds a unique identifier and adds “Russia bad” throughout.

    States the information is in cleartext but then explains how everything is encrypted (in transit).

    What will the author do if they intercepted any single online stores transfer of credit card details. Also encrypted in transit but Is that also deemed as cleartext? Or is that okay?

    I don’t think much new is learnt here. WhatsApp also sends metadata in “cleartext” (not really, as it’s encrypted in transit, but this article called that “cleartext”).
