That's, essentially, what his monthly CRYPTO-GRAM newsletter is: A collection of brief descriptions of other articles with occasional (also brief) analysis and commentary. The 8/14 edition contains a mere couple of lines about Drovorub.

I think where malware matters is on web servers, not personal boxes. The malware I receive mainly is on my phone. Servers give you a look at everything passing through, and if you're good enough, there's a big payback.

It's kind of messy and worthless getting into personal pcs. Anyone hacking into mine would find little. Tracking is better for people, because it reveals who I'm in touch with and can pick up emails,messages, forum posts, etc. Tor, protonmail, whatsapp and mega.nz offer decent levels of encryption; zoom claims to, but I'm not sure how seriously to take that. Jitsi also appears to, and I mean to get that running here as soon as I bite that particular bullet.

For a secure messaging app, Signal is it AFAIAC. All messages, voice and video calls between Signal users are encrypted automatically. It has a Linux desktop which is convenient, because I hate trying to type using a phone's virtual keyboard.
