don't trust phone numbers as identifiers. #signal #whatsapp
@hexmasteen really... That's bad!
@jamesvdarkwood Yeah. One mistake by one employee could lead to serious problems. Thinking about it: if he would have made an error in typing one of the digits..Trusting a big company to manage your identifier is good enough most of the time but secure solutions should offer an alternative.
