The CIA can effectively bypass the encryption used in secure texting apps popular with whistleblowers and journalists.

By collecting audio and text messages on a targeted phone before they’re encrypted for another party, the CIA can effectively suck up the private data sent on Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp and other secure apps, according to the Vault 7 document dump by Wikileaks.

It’s a confirmation of a long-standing assumption that intelligence agencies intercepted data after it was transcribed on a keyboard but before it could be encrypted by software.
