WhatsApp has just confirmed these five critical vulnerabilities
With more than 2 billion users, WhatsApp is the true source of general applications, let alone Messenger. At this level of success, the rate of harm to WhatsApp users has risen. For example, earlier this year, WhatsApp users on iPhones were warned of the risk of one-click attacks. During 2019, the “outbreak” of WhatsApp security breaches caused some employees to report that they recommended competing with secure messaging programs with messaging programs.
Let us be clear: no application can resist vulnerabilities. This is the truth of technical life. This is worthwhile behavior, and this should be the end of it. This is why I welcome the newly launched WhatsApp Security Tips website. This has nothing to do with the speed of error repair. It is also important to publicly disclose their existence. In any case, WhatsApp won.
Forbes has more than 235 million Instagram, Tick and YouTube user personal information disclosed to Dave Winder through a large-scale data breach.
WhatsApp’s security blog said: “We conduct internal security audits and rely on automatic detection systems to identify and resolve potential problems.” When announcing the launch of the security consultation page, the WhatsApp GB blog post also promised transparency.
This took me to the six security vulnerabilities listed as “Update 2020” on the consulting website. One of them only has general vulnerability reports and only shows that 2019 was classified as “spam” by VULDB’s “Endangered Database”, while the other five are important.
The good news is that all dangers will be eliminated on the same day or within one or two days when the danger is discovered. Similarly, there is no evidence that anyone in the forest has been exploited.
