What does #CoSoSec think about how big a deal this is or is not?
A few thoughts about Signal’s Secure Value Recovery
@voltronic 👎🏿
'allows Signal to upload your contacts into Signal’s servers
due to the fact that it was recently enabled without a particularly clear explanation'
Peeps should always know where their information is sitting or you've got a blind side you can't protect.

I agree Signal should not enable this feature by default.
However, looking at the concept I am glad they're at least trying to make this secure, compared to other services where security is an afterthought.
I use signal regularly and absolutely love it.
