If WhatsApp is end to end encrypted then how can spies can access messages?
- Medicalidiot 7y agoI'm assuming gaining access to the phone itself. This is probably and exploit via the WhatsAPP app that allows privilege escalation of some type. Note: I'm in the medical field and this is not my expertise.
- s_dev 7y agoSo Facebook are suing NSO for having hacked Apples or Googles software? My point is once end to end encryption is enabled -- no MITM vulnearabilities should exist. Kind of like how password managers protect your password -- not even they can see it. I think this is indicative that Facebook doesn't enable true end to end encryption so they can read messages themselves but advertise that they don't to attract the privacy dollar.
- joewee 7y agoYou misunderstand how end to end encryption works and what the vulnerabilities were. These are not MITM attacks. I suggest you read the article or the affidavit, they do a good job explaining what happened.
