Hey guys how you doing?,
This time i wanna talk with you guys about the current state of security and anonimity of the most popular messaging apps and the reasonings why the Kore team is making one if there are soo many out there and some are pretty good.
Here is some pictures taken from
https://www.securemessagingapps.com/ that show most of the things of concern on the current messagings apps that we use, and you should check this website if you use any of those apps so you can see their full list.
As you can see on the pictures i posted or on the website link i provided none of the best messaging apps is perfect and some other points of attack like SS7 and that is on the mobile network providers that we all use means none of the messaging apps that use some type of sms for confirmation is safe, what if i just say that your phone number is more than enough to read your text messages, eavesdrop phone calls and track your locations without your knowledge…Yes, it happened and it may or may not happen in the future to you too.
As disturbing this sounds this is something that people must be aware and take very seriously as one bad hack and there goes your privacy, fredoom and possibly your cryptos too!!!
After carefully researching for a good time about the technology on the best messagings apps, development, exploit fixes, source codes, academic papers, hackatons and etc, the team got to learn a lot and if you see the pictures i posted or the link for the website i posted you will notice that if you grab and combine the best of each app you will have a better app one that is more secure and private but that is not everything that will be needed to make it maybe the best we can and i wont tell much about other than that it might require some blockchain magic to make what we are doing, this has been a long time in the making and will play a role on the Korephone too, you will be able to see the messasing app whitepaper and the open source once it is out or maybe learn more about it on a youtube interview, we will see
Here are some of the reasonings for creating this app our privacy, security and freedom are of the utmost value to us and very important and we gotta protect it and that includes the tools we use for comunicating, so creating a tool for communicating with friends, family and doing bussines that is the most private, secure, anonymous and decentralized so it is censor free is something that is worth working and fighting for.
Cheers
