Wow, if you search for signal messenger on DuckDuckGo using Chrome, the actual @signalapp web site is the third entry following ads for “Signal Private Messenger – Free Download” that leads to the site appmaus.com and “Get Signal Messenger | Install Signal App” that leads to the site filelocations.com.DuckDuckGo should be held criminally liable for anyone who ends up downloading malware because of this.CC @Mer__edith #DuckDuckGo #Signal #adtech #teachingPeopleHowToGetPhished #malware #security #privacy #BigTech
