The encryption wars between messaging apps Telegram and Signal have intensified, drawing attention from high-profile figures like Elon Musk. Musk, who previously endorsed Signal for its privacy protections, has now raised concerns about the app's security, alleging unspecified vulnerabilities that Signal has not addressed.
Telegram's CEO, Pavel Durov, has also criticized Signal's encryption capabilities, claiming that Signal is insecure for private messaging. Durov's public post on Telegram highlighted alleged exploits of Signal messages in US courts and media, although specific details were not provided.
