The article from Mashable discusses a security breach involving a modified version of the Signal messaging app, known as Signal Plus Messenger. This modded app, which was available on the Google Play Store, was compromised by hackers who exploited it to send out fraudulent messages appearing to be from government agencies. These messages, which were sent to users in South Korea, falsely claimed to be from the country's National Police Agency and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, warning about a fictitious "corona financial aid scam." The hackers used the app's compromised infrastructure to spread these misleading messages, highlighting the risks associated with using modified versions of secure communication apps. The legitimate Signal app developers emphasized that they do not support or have any connection to such modified versions, urging users to stick to the official app for secure communication.
