in #whatsapp5 years ago

WhatsApp as an application will never be safe. These are the words of Telegram CEO Paul Durov, who attacks after the discovery and admission of a serious vulnerability that has struck WhatsApp in recent days during the application of Mark Zuckerberg. A spyware that enabled taking control of the smartphone and clearly of the sensitive data contained in it with a simple call.

WhatsApp is Durov's security'' colander'' The issue that came to WhatsApp raised strong doubts about the application's security and the system Zuckerberg engineers are using to defend their users. The vulnerability in question, resolved with a new update, enabled attackers to easily install spyware and "sneak" into the smartphone with a simple, harmless call, and then control the device's data.

Furthermore, the problem did not allow it to be easily discovered by the user as it was not visible and above all because the spyware was going to delete information about incoming calls and could therefore work stealthily without problems. Telegram's CEO, Paul Durov, does nothing but burden what happened against the "green" messaging system with strong words. Telegram's founder explains how WhatsApp can never be a secure application by nature.
