+What kind of security does cabal have?
Right now, very little. Cabal should be treated the same way you would treat an IRC channel: generally private, but discoverable + readable by sniffing local network & DHT traffic.
We're trying to get the core platform and networking solid right now, and have lots of plans & ideas for security in the near future, especially around end-to-end encryption and peer-to-peer permission models.
What's the plan for media embeds?
We have a work in progress (gif) of it in Cabal Mini, one of our desktop clients. Once that is finished we will implement support for it in the other clients

How can I support what you're doing?
Join the Cabal Club by contributing to one of the clients.
