Everyone knows that the instant messaging service WhatsApp is not one hundred percent safe despite being the most used service for users worldwide. Today we know the data obtained through a thorough analysis of protocol, security system and methods used by the company both for sending and receiving messages that users send and the truth is that the results are not encouraging in the safety of our conversations.
And the main conclusion to be drawn to this analysis can be summarized in one sentence: If someone wants to read your talks WhatsApp can do it without problem, and we're not talking about a problem that occurs in previous versions, but it also happens with the latest updates to the application.
Not the first time this has happened with WhatsApp and surely this is not the last, is that the instant messaging service world famous not renowned for being far safer.
WhatsApp seems to be interested in improving their safety
As we said a moment ago, it is not the first time we have knowledge of security holes are there in WhatsApp and seems to never end solutions. So, you could say that WhatsApp is a company that seems to have an interest in improving their security systems to provide better and safer service to its users.
A student of systems engineering and mathematics from the University of Utrecht called Thijs Alkemade has conducted a thorough analysis of the encryption system currently used WhatsApp to send and receive messages as well as technical aspects of how the application works. Following this analysis, Alkemade has found two errors in the implementation that make a person who is a bit handy with these things and have sufficient expertise to be able to access our conversations bypassing the encryption provided is connected to the same network you are connected us.
What should be the insecurity of WhatsApp?
The style of Mourinho, at this stage of the game we keep asking why. Why even in the case of an application as used throughout the world to the point of being considered the application has finished with the traditional text messages does not have a good security system to protect user information?
However, know their reasons and yet still something that is something we do not understand, especially now that payment is an annual fee, however small it may be. Now the user is paying for a service and the minimum would be is that the service offered by WhatsApp tell a halfway decent security to the height of the position in which it is. In fact, there are users that following these safety problems has chosen to stop using WhatsApp to use other courier services that offer greater security.
