Technical analysis of the Signal clone used by Tru...
The decision to use a signal knockoff was a planned and managed one, not just on a whim. Who's responsible for managing the phones?

It's not really a knockoff, it's a deliberately cracked version of a B2C app to adapt it to a corporate setting

The Signal client app is open source; it's probably not reasonable to describe a modified version as "cracked". Signal does discourage the use of modified clients for security reasons, but does not actively block most of them.

You’re right for Signal! Their WhatsApp client, however… that’s definitely “cracked”

Which is great. We need these proprietary protocols to be more open, and cracking them is one way to do that.

Don't speculate, the evidence is bad enough.
