Apple Hires Developer of Encrypted Messaging App Signal

As it continues to battle the FBI over encryption and backdoors, Apple has made a new security-related hire.
The tech giant has offered Frederic Jacobs, a developer behind Edward Snowden's favorite encrypted messaging app, Signal, an internship with the company. 
For the uninitiated, Signal rolls secure text messaging and encrypted voice-over IP calls into a single package that works as a full-fledged SMS replacement app. Kept afloat by community donations and grants, Signal for iOS and Android is free and does not contain ads. The Android version is one of our Editors' Choice winners for secure messaging apps.
