WhatsApp calls and messages were used by Facebook. The point is that even Telegram does the same they have much less data about me that they can use. It is a good enough replacement of SMS and GSM calls even with broken crypto. For sensitive communication I would definitely use Signal or Keybase instead. Those are the tools that we use for work related things like software development. Keybase is actually pretty amazing. I think even the crypto backing it is solid.

- iudqnolq 7y ago> WhatsApp calls and messages were used by Facebook. If that's true that would be extremely serious, given that Whatsapp promises end-to-end encryption > WhatsApp end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what's sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp. Your messages are secured with locks, and only the recipient and you have the special keys needed to unlock and read your messages. For added protection, every message you send has an unique lock and key. All of this happens automatically: No need to turn on settings or set up special secret chats to secure your messages. > Important: End-to-end encryption is always activated. There's no way to turn off end-to-end encryption. https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/28030015/ https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/28030015/ Source please?

- iudqnolq 7y agoThat's a serious issue I wasn't aware of. Do note however that for this attack to work you have to not notice a user you don't know added to your group chat. Nevertheless, this is much more serious than I knew.
