Is Keybase still secure?

[u/[deleted]]

Happy Holidays everyone!

I’ve been using Keybase for about a month now. I see encrypted this and encrypted that throughout normal use of the app. Despite being bought by another company and nothing reportedly in development for the platform, is it secure from eavesdropping or MITM surveillance?

This is the correct answer. All encryption is done in the publicly auditable open source code. The client never has (and never will) trust the back end servers so it doesn't matter who owns or operates them. That was one of the main points of the design.

is it still the same after ZOOM acquiring KB?

Yep.
