Keybase, a security-focused messaging platform, has launched a free encrypted alternative to Slack called ‘Teams’. This new feature offers end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only the intended recipients can read the messages. Unlike Slack, Teams does not use a central database to store messages, making it more secure from potential data breaches. Teams is designed to be user-friendly and offers similar features to Slack such as chat rooms, direct messages, and file sharing. The service is free and does not restrict the number of users or messages, unlike Slack’s free version. Teams is currently available on all major platforms including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. The creators of Keybase aim to provide a secure and private communication platform, particularly for journalists, lawyers, and human rights activists who require high levels of privacy and security.
