Polish blogger sued after revealing security issue in UseCrypt messenger

> they have been receiving legal letters from S440 SA demanding the removal of any negative articles and user comments from their websites about the UseCrypt Messenger app

I guess S440 never heard about the Streisand effect....

The blog linked in the article actually focuses mostly on vulnerabilities of autofwd.com. So I find suecrypt's response crazy, especially when compared to autofwd.com's response - the latter offered bug bounty, shut down the service and allowed to publish an article about it (and all of that within a single day!).

But yes, never heard of this messenger before, now I know one more thing to avoid. Talk about Streisand..

YUP. Usecrypt stole signal's code and made its app closed source and paid. Fuck this shitty messenger.

as Polish I'd like to add that they even advertise on tv and on sites of top 3 cellular operator. That's a such a shame that scammers sue good guys
