wifi is still in the baseband processor.

There have been mutiple baseband RCE exploits published in the literature and demonstrated at blackhat - and they dont include any that were put there intentionally.

If you are not using a sim smartphones are pretty useless.

Im a long way from convinced that centralised servers have any role to play in reasonably secure e2ee, they certainly are not a requirement for other services such as firechat used to use before they got shutdown and bridgefy is making use of.

You can't target a WiFi exploit against a phone number though, so that's irrelevant to the Signal situation.

Maybe I spend too much time hanging around places with WiFi, but I almost never need to have a sim card. I don't even have data on my current plan.
