Ginlo claims to be the “most secure messenger” for healthcare and personal use, but lacks basic protections in its apps, with many issues remaining unpatched after a 90-day disclosure window.
There’s a German messenger app called ginlo that a few people seem to think (German) is a viable alternative to Signal. On its website, ginlo is advertised as follows:
Protect your messages
With the most secure messenger on the market. Made in Germany.
ginlo uses the strongest algorithms to protect your privacy and all your data. Not just while data is being transferred (end-to-end), but also when it’s on your device. That’s what full encryption means. Even ginlo as a provider doesn’t have any way of accessing your content.
Fully encrypted
Forget end-to-end encryption. The only way to ensure that your data is truly secure is with full encryption by ginlo1.
