      You’re confused, I am not the author of this article. I did not write the statement above, just copied and pasted it here.

        I’m not confused, you’re intentionally misreading what’s happening for some reason.

        “Passing through it” pretty clearly refers to the server as that’s what was hacked into and had plain text archives.

        You’re hyper fixating on the fact that the article says “the app” when referring to both the phone and server pieces to try and argue… something.

          You are confused. I’m not “intentionally misreading” anything, it was written incorrectly. I’m not trying to argue anything. I’m just reading the (wrong) words used in the article. When I come across a piece of misinformation, I don’t continue reading in the hopes that they clear it up later, I write it off and close it.

          Someone else cleared this up. There’s no reason to continue arguing about it.

            I’m still not confused and you’re still missing the forest for the trees because you don’t like common practice of including the server infrastructure even talking about apps.

            There was a plaintext archive of messages on a remote server. That’s a security problem no matter what point you’re trying to make about the term app.

              I do like common terminology, that’s the problem.

              Once again, this has already been cleared up elsewhere. Since you seem intent on dragging this out for some reason, you’re going to be blocked. Have a nice night.
