Palo Alto’s new report calls a global smishing campaign “sophisticated.” It’s not. It’s the same phishing problem that’s existed for decades - fake links leading to fake websites. developer.metacert.com/the-illusion-o…

@JimD326 @Paul__Walsh @RKBDI @TutaPrivacy @GrapheneOS “They use it to steal your data” - what exactly do you mean by that? Can you be specific? What are the claims made by Graphene in relation to RCS and/or SMS that you disagree with? No person is safe from SMS, iMessage, or RCS phishing when relying on any traditional security.

@Paul__Walsh @RKBDI @TutaPrivacy @GrapheneOS You're sidestepping. Sms is old protocol. They use it to steal your data. Graphene claims to security are non existent when it comes to this. More importantly, as networks evolve, GrapheneOS is not able to compete in these areas. Leaving the user open to a larger attack surface
