flighty_sloth I've seen a lot of discussion of app names displaying differently, I don't believe it's anything malicious. As for the org.thoughtcrime.securesms that is the legitimate package name of signal.
VAULT flighty_sloth Thx for the prompt reply and info! That was a bit spooky :) I guess we'll see what happens then. If it was an error in the last Signal update or such... or a GOS based issue... ??? If anyone has any further insight I'd appreciate you sharing. VAULT
233328 VAULT There is no serious problem here. 'org.thoughtcrime.securesms' is the package name of the Signal app. You can see this by going to Settings > Apps > See all apps > Signal > the package name is shown towards the bottom of that page alongside the app's version and other details. You probably saw this instead of 'Signal' somewhere on your phone because of a UI glitch, it happens to me sometimes.
VAULT 233328 Cool! Thx for that. So yes I can confirm my wife's P8 has an older version of Signal and yes it does have that as the app domain :) Looks like a UI name display issue. Defibrillated heart... beating at normal rate again :)
MoonshineMidnight 233328 'org.thoughtcrime.securesms' is the package name of the Signal app. Moxie who runs Signal and wrote the original code is big on references to and quotes from Orwell's "1984". Quote form the book: Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Also nice to see Signal working out the kinks on quantum resistant cryptography well in advance: https://signal.org/docs/specifications/pqxdh/#passive-quantum-adversaries
VAULT Rebooted and now displaying app name correctly as "Signal". Everyone can stand down... sorry for the false alarm...
TheRavenSayeth VAULT seeing the tidy up and going back to the app I discovered that there was another addition to the APK that I downloaded as linked by and individual representing that I was employed by his company to work from home and to use this app. Wouldn't you know it....along came a keylogger accessed they my link by this tard! Oh yes I was upset with the Goggle secured app and then found these posts. Any wonder about the name of this hidden beneathe things or encountered the bs I did with the keylogger and remote access? Just wondering. The Raven Sayeth
wuseman VAULT If you google search this phrase there are some posts about it as a hack against banking apps... Where the hell did you see this?
raccoondad VAULT BTW what would the GOS devs say about something you downloaded? Also I like how signals package name is 'thought crimes'...heh
