Is the back-end of WhatsApp like the back-end of the Facebook and Messenger apps? I.e. loads of teams, lots of redundant code, massive attack surface, constantly breaking, etc?
- DyslexicAtheist 7y agotheir broken input sanitation suggests exactly that. e2ee is just a marketing gimmick if the system as a whole can easily be pawned in other ways. NSO, FinFisher and all the other players peddling exploits to low-ranking LE are having a field day with WhatsApp for reasons that have nothing to do with e2ee. WhatsApp is as much snake-oil as Telegram, and OP was right in calling it a dumpster fire.
