The exploit targets Cellebrite, not Signal's own software. Cellebrite is running on the machine doing the extracting and not the device containing the original data.

It's entirely possible that I'm wrong and this will cause your phone to explode, but if you don't trust the Signal developers enough to assume they won't intentionally explode your phone, you probably shouldn't be using their product.

I understand this. I'm saying my mother shouldn't be on the hook for her phone bricking a celebrity device used in good faith.
