So, the company that got bribed by a shitcoin promoter to backdoor the keybase app so it can abuse your secret keybase identity keys to place permanent, non-removable shitcoin ads on your profile[1] (and then immediately denied that it was a backdoor and
also lied about implementing the ability for users to remove the ads keybase got paid to place[2]) is now joining up with the company that has shipped sketchy backdoored client software[3], consistently lied about having end to end encryption (and even doubled down on their lies when confronted about it!)[4] and delivers their encryption keys from generation servers in China[5].
I'm sure the result of this will be lots of good and secure trustworthy software that I'll be eager to install on my computer. It's totally legitimate and accurate that people are reporting today that this acquisition will bring real end to end encryption to Zoom as if buying a company causes software to spontaneously manifest out of the ether with zero delay. Don't worry, everyone: Zoom is secure now because they wrote a check!
What is it with cryptographic charlatans these days?
