  "textContent": "There isn’t much information about the breach or how it was discovered, but the article says this.\n\n> Signal user IDs associated with accounts that are left dormant are eventually recycled and made available to new users.\n\nIf you own a Signal account that you leave dormant from time to time, beware of this.\n\nThe Signal team need to fix this. I don’t claim to propose the best solution, but letting other users take over usernames of a dormant account is a mistake, and perhaps users who connect with someone using a potentially hijacked username ought to be alerted to verify the contact.",
