c’t-Datenschutz-Podcast Discusses Signal Hack and Europol Data Collection

The c’t-Datenschutz-Podcast (episode 159, titled "Auslegungssache 159: 'Signal-Hack' und Europol-Schatten-IT") addresses two security-related topics: a purported hack of the encrypted messaging app Signal and a controversial data collection practice at Europol. The podcast features hosts Falk Steiner, Sylvester Tremmel, and Holger Bleich, who examine the incidents without specifying exact dates or technical details like CVEs. The "Signal-Hack" refers to unverified claims of a breach, while Europol’s "Schatten-IT" involves unauthorized data storage practices by law enforcement. No confirmed impacts, such as data leaks or exploitation, are explicitly stated in the available content. The discussion focuses on the implications of these events rather than technical specifics.
