paradox<p>Согласно исследованию компании <strong>Artezio</strong> (входит в ГК «Ланит»), наиболее защищённым приложением для общения среди экспертов считается заблокированный в России мессенджер <a href="https://signal.org/ru/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Signal</a>, пишет «Коммерсантъ». При этом <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Telegram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Telegram</span></a>, ранее занимавший в рейтинге пятое место, в перечень наиболее защищённых мессенджеров не вошёл, что связано с существенными изменениями в политике безопасности в 2024 году.</p><p>По оценкам Artezio, в перечень самых безопасных приложений для обмена сообщениями в 2025 году вошли <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Signal</span></a>, <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Olvid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Olvid</span></a>, <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Threema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Threema</span></a>, <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Element" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Element</span></a> (<a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Matrix</span></a>), <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Session" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Session</span></a>, <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Wickr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wickr</span></a>, <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Wire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wire</span></a>, <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/iMessage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iMessage</span></a>, <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/WhatsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatsApp</span></a> и <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Viber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Viber</span></a>. Специалистами оценивались как технические аспекты защиты приложений, так и их устойчивость к актуальным угрозам. В рамках исследования мессенджеры тестировались по 60 ключевым параметрам: от качества шифрования и защиты метаданных до устойчивости к социальной инженерии и прозрачности политик конфиденциальности.</p><blockquote><p>«Несмотря на высокую популярность Telegram, он не вошел в обновлённый рейтинг из-за существенных изменений в политике безопасности в 2024 году», — сообщили в Artezio. К тому же, в Telegram отсутствует сквозное шифрование по умолчанию во всех чатах, включая групповые, что является критическим недостатком с точки зрения современных стандартов безопасности, добавили в компании.</p></blockquote><p>В свою очередь, Signal (компания-разработчик принадлежит американской НКО Signal Technology Foundation) получил первую позицию рейтинга благодаря открытому коду, минимальному сбору метаданных и инновационной системе «запаздывающего шифрования», обеспечивающей защиту даже при компрометации ключей. В августе 2024 года Роскомнадзор ограничил доступ к Signal в связи с нарушениями, которые позволяют использовать приложение в злоумышленнических целях.</p><p>Второе место аналитики отдали французскому мессенджеру <a href="https://www.olvid.io/en/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Olvid</a> с уникальной архитектурой zero-trust, не требующей номер телефона или e-mail при регистрации. Третье место получил мессенджер <a href="https://threema.ch/en" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Threema</a> благодаря полному сквозному шифрованию и анонимной регистрации. Четвёртое место у децентрализованной платформы с открытым кодом <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Element" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Element</span></a> (Matrix).</p><p>На пятом месте открытый анонимный мессенджер <a href="https://getsession.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Session</a>, созданный в Австралии, который ранее не входил в рейтинг. Для защиты в нём используется технология маршрутизации: сообщения проходят через несколько промежуточных серверов, каждый из которых «знает» только предыдущий и следующий узлы, но не весь маршрут (как в Tor). WhatsApp добавили в рейтинг благодаря протоколу Signal и шифрованию по умолчанию, но в связи с принадлежностью к Meta✴ были обнаружены возможные каналы утечки метаданных о пользователях.</p><p>Исследователи определили несколько тенденций на рынке защищенных коммуникаций, существующих в 2025 году. Во-первых, была отмечена деанонимизация стандартных платформ, поскольку мессенджеры стали чаще сотрудничать с правоохранительными органами, что привело к миграции пользователей на альтернативные сервисы. С другой стороны, эксперты отметили значительный рост ценности приватности среди пользователей.</p><p>Как сообщают в SafeTech Group, мошенники предпочитают использовать для своих схем самые популярные мессенджеры. Если речь идёт о мошеннических звонках от «службы безопасности банка», то чаще всего они применяют Viber и WhatsApp, а для других операций социальной инженерии — Telegram.</p><p><a href="https://nnmclub.to/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1795801" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Источник</a></p><p><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/%D0%A0%D0%9A%D0%9D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>РКН</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B7%D0%BE%D1%80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>роскомнадзор</span></a></p>

Sean<p>I’m devoting time today to decluttering my digital life by closing online accounts and services. Biting the dust today so far have been <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SnapChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SnapChat</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Wickr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wickr</span></a>.

And most of them I don’t need. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ByeBye" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ByeBye</span></a> </p><p>If you’re thinking of a purge too, be sure to officially close the accounts to ensure data is deleted.</p>
