  • description: Modern smartphones are some of the most locked down consumer devices that have ever existed. Computers are less secure, and you downgrade your security when you link a privacy focused app, like Signal, to a less secure environment. You are effectively taking a very well protected environment, your phone, and extending trust to a much weaker one. For some people it will be worth it, but it's important to understand the tradeoffs. 00:00 I Do Not Use Signal desktop 00:28 How Phones Sandbox Apps 01:20 Desktop Security Explained 02:05 Not a Signal Issue 02:26 Desktops Widen Attack Surface 04:13 Hardware Backed Security Explained 05:13 The Risk Explained 06:14 Keep Your Phone Lean 06:50 We Want to Hear From YOU! Security always collapses to the weakest link. That does not mean that Signal desktop is bad. It simply means desktops are inherently riskier environments. So the next time you link a high security tool to a less secure environment, be sure to understand the tradeoffs.
