@bmftr_bund ... "offener Austausch" aber auch nur mit Menschen, die "legal" über die Landesgrenzen eingewandert sind. Wenn nicht, dann kann die Forschung noch so essenziell und bahnbrechend sein... richtig Dorothee?

@TLisaB Ich wollte hier keine Partei ergreifen oder Anbieter verteidigen. Es klang halt nur so, als wäre das mit den Fingerabdrücken mittlerweile gesichertes Wissen. Das hätte mich dann auch nochmal mehr dazu bewegt, anderen Leuten von der Nutzung abzuraten. Gut, wenn dem (noch) nicht so ist.

@TLisaB @ramichaelseidlitz Werden die Fingerabdrucksdaten wirklich übertragen?

@molly0xfff I gotta say, they have quite humorous takes about this whole story. #Coinbase also just unironically sent out this newsletter calling on their users to watch out, when the whole story was unfolding on their own watch:

Screenshot of a Coinbase newsletter sent out on May, 21st 2025:

"Staying Safe From Scammers

Scams are surging across every corner of the internet. Imposters target users of banks, brokerage apps, social networks—any service that stores personal data or money. Social-engineering attacks, where fraudsters masquerade as legitimate support staff and pressure victims to hand over credentials or move funds, account for the majority of customer losses industry-wide.

How social-engineering scams unfold
Fraudsters often pose as customer-support staff—sometimes “from Coinbase,” sometimes from another well-known company that might hold your data. Their playbook is predictable:
Unsolicited text, email, or call arrives claiming your account is in danger.
Urgent warning follows: “Act now or lose your funds.”
Pressure to comply—they ask for your password, two-factor authentication (2FA) code, seed phrase, or tell you to move assets to a “safe” wallet they control.

Fact: Coinbase will never contact you first for passwords or codes or request that you transfer your assets immediately for security reasons (we provide advance notice for any product migrations)."

After Stripe acquired lemonsqueezy.com they have recently launched their version of a "merchant of record" service at docs.stripe.com/payments/manag -- maybe leaving a subtle hint with your contacts at Paddle helps holding them accountable to their announcements ;)

@jannis Verkabelung ist keine Option? Habe nie mit Mesh gearbeitet, aber Software und Hardware sind bisher echt ein Träumchen im Ubiquiti-Universum.

🤯 Amazing writeup!

> The devastating hacks confirm: #TeleMessage's server – hosted on the public AWS cloud, run by an Israeli company that's lead by a former IDF spook – has plaintext access to the #Signal chat logs they're archiving, along with logs for #Telegram, #WeChat, and #WhatsApp.

@cblte @isotopp Klar; aber das Argument gilt ja völlig unabhängig von der hier beschriebenen Neuigkeit.

@joelanman @signalapp Totally agree.

Is there any chance that this will solve the problem? signal.org/blog/a-synchronized
I haven’t tested it out yet… but it might be a step towards a solution.
