تحسين السلامة العامة من خلال الاتصالات الموثوقة والآمنة

RealTyme will participate in the Global Conference on AI, Security and Ethics 2026 (#AISE26), convened by UNIDIR — the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research — at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. Taking place on 18 and 19 June 2026, the conference brings together diplomats, policymakers, technology leaders, academia, civil society, and research institutions to examine the implications of artificial intelligence for international peace and security.

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) is reshaping how organizations think about communication security. Rather than breaking encryption today, attackers can collect encrypted data and store it until future quantum computing capabilities make decryption possible. For organizations handling sensitive information, this raises important questions about long-term confidentiality. This article explores how HNDL works, why real-time communications are a valuable target, and how post-quantum cryptography, crypto agility, and sovereign communication platforms are helping organizations prepare for the next era of cybersecurity.

On June 8, 2026, cybersecurity intelligence platform FrenchBreaches disclosed that a threat actor claimed to have breached Tchap — the interministerial messaging application mandated for all French civil servants. The attacker alleges exfiltration of 13.51 GB of data, including more than 643,000 messages, 59,386 media files, and identity data for over 73,000 government agents spanning the Ministries of Interior, Armed Forces, Economy and Finance, Justice, and Foreign Affairs.

A state-linked phishing campaign is actively stealing Signal users' backup recovery keys — giving attackers full access to years of encrypted message history. The attack exploits a structural weakness no encryption upgrade can fix. Organisations operating in high-risk environments in Europe, the Middle East, APAC and Africa need a sovereign communication platform — not a consumer messaging app — to close this gap.

In the Netherlands, it emerged that Microsoft handed personal data of EU civil servants to the US House of Representatives — including names, emails, meeting minutes, and invitations. Not because of a cyberattack. Not because of a GDPR violation. Because of a US law called the CLOUD Act — and because Microsoft, like every American tech company, has no choice but to comply with it.

Security researchers revealed that WhatsApp stores your entire chat history in an unencrypted database on iOS and macOS — one that other Meta apps like Facebook can silently read without your knowledge or consent. End-to-end encryption protects messages while they travel across the internet. It does not protect them once they land on your device. This is the privacy gap the industry has largely ignored — until now.
