I don’t buy it. At least not completely.
I know that no hardware or software is completely free from the ability to be hacked. But I would be willing to bet that the examples that are most emotionally compelling—the Jan 6 encrypted chats showing up in the charges against participants—were not hacked, but simply handed over by a participant.
That’s just the age-old problem of secrets, not some technological failure. The more people who know a secret, the less safe that secret is.
