Hodgson noted that he&#8217;d heard of staffers frantically trying to set up a Matrix platform to coordinate the response to the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Element has had its own issues in recent weeks, although nothing on the scale of Facebook&#8217;s incident. A <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2021\/09\/13\/matrix_foundation_implementation_bug\/\" rel=\"noopener\">vulnerability disclosed last month<\/a> resulted in the potential for the exposure of encrypted messages on the network. Hodgson told us that the vulnerability had been found by the in-house security team and that no exploits had been detected.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it&#8217;s not an ideal situation and required a coordination with more Matrix clients than just Element itself in order to deal with the issue. &#8220;About two-thirds of them had fallen into the same trap,&#8221; Hodgson observed.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" id=\"story_eagle_xsm_sm_md_xmd_lg_xlg\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xsm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xmd=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-lg=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xlg=\",mpu,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33YV2qMtl5KuLM6vLbZSd@iQAAAFc&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33YV2qMtl5KuLM6vLbZSd@iQAAAFc&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>The next generation SDK is written in Rust and apparently not vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>It could be worse. They could have done something like cocking up a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration change and stopped thousands of mad Uncles and Aunts spouting conspiracy theories for six hours (*cough* <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2021\/10\/04\/facebook_outage_fixed\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> *cough*).<\/p>\n<p>As for Signal, Element noted that both it and Matrix provide end-to-end encrypted communication. &#8220;We&#8217;d even go so far as to say,&#8221; the company added, &#8220;that if you *wanted* to put all your messaging eggs into one centralised walled garden basket, Signal is probably the most sensible option. It doesn&#8217;t have an ad-funded business model, and it doesn&#8217;t productise its users.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That said, Element reckoned its product was better suited for enterprise users and those seeking to avoid the dreaded shadow IT.<\/p>\n<p>As with the other bridges provided (at a fee) by Element, Signal users appear as Matrix users once they are connected.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, however, it&#8217;s limited to messaging at present. Le Pape said that voice and video were &#8220;on the roadmap, but it&#8217;s a bit more tricky.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hodgson concurred, adding that native voice and video would be both end-to-end encrypted and scalable within Matrix itself. Also on the cards are indicators to better show when messages are being queued when the target system has a Facebook-esque whoopsie.<\/p>\n<p>WhatsApp&#8217;s woes have inadvertently demonstrated the benefits of a decentralised messaging system like Matrix. The addition of yet another supported bridge via Element is therefore to be welcomed. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.com\/feed\/www.theregister.com\/2021\/10\/06\/element_signal\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kudos given to Signal.
