    Vulnerable software is different from malware.

    Iirc there was also the part of the story where the exploit for Cellebrite’s thing was included in Signal, and Marlinspike said that data on any device scanning Signal with Cellebrite software would be poisoned.

      What I’m hearing is that even if you aren’t a Signal user, you might benefit from having Signal installed on your device?

        I’m guessing things might’ve changed since then, as this story is pretty old. I doubt it that they gotten newer versions of Cellebrite to screw them again.
