Anyone can read your talks
WhatsApp. It reveals a comprehensive protocol analysis, security system and
used by the company to send and receive methods.
WhatsApp your conversations can
be read. So simple but so blunt. No matter if the content is now encrypted. It
is not a matter of chance, not a theory, it is a reality and can be done with
the latest versions of the application. It is not the first time it happens and
I am convinced it will not be the only one. WhatsApp is an irresponsible
company that simply refuses to improve their security systems even when they
are so popular that they are considered directly responsible for the
disappearance of SMS.
Thijs Alkemade, a student of
systems engineering and mathematics at the University of Utrecht has analyzed
in detail the encryption system using WhatsApp, the technical performance of
the application and how two errors in the implementation aspects make a person
with sufficient knowledge technical and access to the same network to which you
are connected (for example, to the same Wi-Fi) is capable of intercepting
messages that you send and receive, break the encryption and read. WhatsApp
Sniffer app was the most popular at the time.
In simple terms and simple: you
must assume that if a person has enough interest to read your messages
WhatsApp, you can. Either from personal knowledge or through a third party who
does. The immediate thought is usually "Who would be interested in reading
my messages?" But remember that for vulnerabilities like this have
appeared applications that do the dirty work for you and begin to spy on all
texts exchanged on the same network Wi- Fi automatically. But if you also use
WhatsApp to work, you're shooting in the foot. But if you use it to exchange
privileged or sensitive information, you should be fired immediately end
irresponsible.
Why WhatsApp is so insecure?
It is the question that many of
us do constantly considering the scope and the immense popularity that has the
service. Right now the company behind the application basically has the same
power as a telephone operator but not under the same regulations. Therefore
apparently they give little priority or have little interest in complying with
a responsibility to maintain safe exchange of information between its members.
WhatsApp is no longer free. Yes, I agree, it is a service of two dollars a
year, but to ask that very low money-for sea-'re charging for your service, the
minimum that should provide decent security. Especially considering that there
are other similar services that offer better security. WhatsApp today is king,
but four years ago it was BlackBerry Messenger, in these times change app for
messaging is also very simple.
WhatsApp surely make corrections
to applications and communication protocol to improve security, the question
will always be there: Is it enough? The worst part is that the user side there
is no immediate solution. You can not do anything to make your conversations
WhatsApp safer. My advice? Stop using it, today.
