WARNING: 3 serious security threats in the application of whatsapp you should be aware!...

in #whatsapp7 years ago

The application of Wattasab is one of the most widely used chat apps on Google Play and Stor, but that does not mean that it has given up security loopholes and threats that would expose you to spyware, hacking or something like that, so I liked today's article highlighting three security threats You have to be aware of it.

                     

  • Malicious Web Programs.

With more than one billion users, it is certain that cybercriminals exploit the popularity of this application in espionage and hacking operations, after the application of Watsab in January 2015 announced the launch of its site on the Internet as well as its program on Windows and Mac ... After hearing the hackers this announcement rushed to Creating phishing software sites that steal users' data and expose them to spyware, hacking and other dangerous processes.


               


  • Unencrypted backup.

You should know that if someone wants to access your conversations and spy on them, all you need is the latest version of the backup. The most dangerous is that there is no option to change where to save these copies. This means that you are at the mercy of the cloud storage applications either Google Drive on the Android Or ICOD on IOS. In particular, ICDOD has suffered several criticisms in recent days for leaking several images of celebrities ... making its reputation and the reputation of other cloud services worse day by day.


             


  • Share your data with Facebook.

Facebook decided to add Watsab to its family after both parties agreed to keep the data separate. However, after two years, all balances were reversed. Watsab changed its policy, which made our sensitive information available on Facebook for advertising purposes and other anonymous purposes. You can turn this feature off in the settings, but users do not restrict their access to the application, so that more than one billion users must turn off this feature manually.


             


This was an article today. I sincerely hope that the explanation has impressed you. I ask you to share the post with your friends for the benefit of them and everyone is aware of these threats. I will give you an appointment in a new article and a new topic.
