The message can't be intercepted in transit, since we are talking about spyware, I assume they get it from the device, hard to defend against that if they have access to your process' memory space.

Surprising that end-to-end encryption doesn't really matter when you get into one of the ends.

[ASalazarMX]

Even if you had to input your private key every time you wanted to read or send a message, having malware in your phone voids practically any form of encryption, because it has to be decrypted eventually to be used.

[akimbostrawman]

not at all. there is no encryption that can save you when one of the legitimate participants is somehow compromised. doesn't even need to be a sophisticated device compromise, literal shoulder surfing does that too.

Certainly very hard to defend against that when the messenger you're using won't let you use a device you control.

Lol, so like ... all encryption schemes since the 70s?

[sowbug]

They do have stronger schemes, which are called hash functions.
