I don’t know who still needs to hear this, so I’m going to say it again for the people in the back.
Assume every form of communication you have is being spied on.
If you’re using an app like signal or similar, make sure you and everyone else in the chat has encryption enabled.
Verify the other users in the chat.
Do not plan any activity that could be considered a criminal enterprise on an electronic device with a connection to the internet.
I guess “FBI infiltrated group of immigration activist” would be boring and not fitting the FUD about encrypted messaging…
Wouldn’t be surprised if they went undercover as a member and was just accepted to the group.
My guess as well. Historically, the FBI has spent substantial resources infiltrating groups deemed even the smallest threat to state power.
The FBI’s report from August, prepared by its New York division, does not make clear how the bureau accessed the Signal group
The question I’m most curious to have answered
Sounds like they joined a large group chat as a member
The FBI, the documents show, gained access to conversations in a “courtwatch” Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.
I’ve always felt like Signal isn’t half as secure as it claims to be, and articles like this don’t help that feeling…
Why’s that exactly… who’s not to say they just joined the huge group undercover? Or randomly added to a sensitive group aka the journalist debacle a few months ago.
Shocking revelation.
