Do you use WhatsApp? Good news: as of today, the app encrypts all communications sent from its platform by default, regardless of device that you are using.
In mid-March, we heard that encrypted voice calls would be rolling out. The encrypted feature messages text already exists in the application.
It seems that the company kept its promise, according to Wired.
This move comes to protect the end user from indiscriminate legitimate and illegal ones, and the time is exactly where the global community is trying to find a balance between privacy and the level of access of law enforcement.
The case of Apple, the FBI and the iPhone of the San Bernardino terrorist has triggered many public debates on the subject.
While discussions continue, everyone knows that the FBI has gained access to the device, something that was expected by us in one way or another.
Point of view: Although everyone at iGuRu.gr appreciates and recognizes the necessity of encryption, we find that there is no transparency and solvency in what is said and done by the authorities and the secret services. (What secret services would be if there was transparency and solvency?).
So since there is no trust and its code software του WhatsApp δεν επιτρέπει ελέγχους (κλειστός κώδικας) η κάθε ανακοίνωση extensionof security with bonus enhanced encryption code, we are not particularly impressed.
The solution;
Open Source: Everything open for control, transparency. Difficult as the ebluelady interests are of inestimable value….
