At least one user had their Signal number re-registered by an attacker.

    Someone was talking about Session in another post, the open source app that uses signal code, but without the need to register a phone number.

    Can someone recommend it ? Has it been audited ? Because when it comes to cryptography, even if it’s supposedly the same code as Signal, it still needs to be independently audited to be trusted.

      Session runs on the cryptocurrency backed loki network.

        Ok, didn’t know that. I will have so much catching up to do with documentations one of these days… The onion routing seemed cool but I barely read anything on it yet.
        I Hope it’s not some bullshit whitepaper just to add value to a blockchain/token.

      I prefer XMPP. Probably the best solution available.
