From the FAQ of the Sunbird website (the tech powering Nothing Chats):
This was a huge warning sign when the first round of news about Nothing Chats came around, so I'm glad we're now getting early confirmation that security by obscurity still is a horrible idea and doesn't work
Right i posted the same thing on another nothing chats thread a few days ago. It's such a bizarre statement that's just not true.
