Why WhatsApp is not safe

WhatsApp hack

 The application in Kaleidoscope is a problem with the gaps, the application every period in which a disaster is discovered in which the hackers can not only penetrate the application and get information from it, but they penetrate the entire mobile through the implementation of orders through the application, and of course the most important thing that got in the matter is the penetration of Jeff Bezos, founder of the Amazon With a video file and the vulnerability of penetration via video call from Muhammad bin Salman

 Causes of the gaps

 The application is not open source (open source applications, the code for an application will be available to everyone and thus developers can review the code and discover any gaps in it and report to the company, and the system followed in most important services such as Linux and Android system, messaging applications Telegram, script, WordPress, etc.)


 The service is based in America, and he mentioned that the Telegram team worked a while ago in America for a week and during the week, it was subjected to a breakthrough 3 times for infiltration attempts by the FBI, so imagine a working service with years of experience there?


 WhatsApp application is available in some countries that have tyrannical regimes such as Russia and Iran, unlike the Telegram service, which is blocked in these countries. In the sense of these systems, WhatsApp is not taking advantage of its services and benefiting from it.


 Encrypting messages on the application and the decryption key was with a group of governments who submitted a request, and even when the application used End to End encryption and it will be considered the highest level of encryption, it allowed its users to make a backup copy of their messages without what they tell them that the messages will not be encrypted, and one male has contracted It is due to this problem


 The WhatsApp founder spoke before what was sold to Facebook, and he said that the reason he left the company was his concern for the privacy of users and that he admitted that he sold the privacy of WhatsApp users when Facebook allowed the application "this was an official statement from the WhatsApp founder."


 The Facebook company was storing the passwords of the Facebook and Instagram users in the form of Plain Text, meaning the passwords are stored, such as what the user writes without encryption, which means that any employee in the company was able to use the information to enter any account. Imagine a company that deals so negligently with your sensitive information ... your privacy and the value of your data, will it remain the same?
