WhatsApp it is an amazing application, and this is not because it is used by extremely many people on the planet, but because it is an infinite source of truly amazing information. Today we are talking about no less than 11 convictions that were obtained through WhatsApp after analyzing a single picture that a drug dealer sent to a person and that was analyzed "for blood" by the police before acting in its base.
WhatsApp was the medium in which a drug trafficker sent the picture below to a person, the police discovering visible partial fingerprints in it, but these were insufficient to be able to identify him. However, the police were able to use other clues from the picture obtained from WhatsApp to finally reach the conclusion that the person who published it is a drug trafficker and to discover his identity, hence starting the investigation that led to 11 other convictions.
WhatsApp - incredible convictions with just a picture
WhatsApp was the source through which the drug trafficker bragged about what he does in everyday life, and just as it happened in the case of Facebook many times, the pictures turned into evidence for the police. Here we are talking about a very important case in which the police started from very small clues discovered in WhatsApp and managed to gather evidence to build a case based on which 11 convictions were obtained, in the end.
"There were just parts of the middle and bottom of a finger visible - records only keep the top part. This meant the image did not find a match on national databases. While the scale and quality of the photograph proved a challenge, the small bits were enough to prove he was the dealer. It has now opened the floodgates and when there is part of a hand on a photograph, officers are sending them in."
WhatsApp is a network and a messaging platform through which many people socialize, and this was the basis of the evidence discovered by the police against those who were convicted. This is the first time that a picture of this kind sent via WhatsApp has been used to get so many convictions, the platform being generally known for discovering reasons for divorces and the like.
The conclusion!!!
End to end encryption – bullshit?
Maybe the police got possession of the picture right from the recipient, otherwise Mark Zuckerberg's statement made in front of the American Congress, according to which Whatsapp is completely encrypted, is not confirmed.
Then the sender is stupid...
Correct…
It's not as well encrypted as they say this app is since Facebook also owns it. It's exactly the same. I honestly use Signal with furry encryption and Telegram just as furry. Self-destruct messages and other things they have or as a user of iPhone FaceTime and IMessage. The safest to do whatever you want, 100% tested without repercussions?
No messaging app is secure.
@your boss: what are you relying on when you say "self-destructing messages"? Do you just believe that? Or did you see it with your own eyes? Have you seen the deleted messages from the servers? As long as you send a message, be it text, audio, mail, image, video, etc. through an application, this message remains somewhere and can be read by third parties at any time.
No one can read through iMessage, this is when both people are using the application and the message is sent using the Internet, not through the service from the mobile operator (text message)
Any text message sent through the mobile operator can be evidence in court in case of suspicion, at the request of the police...etc
Messages sent via iMessage are stored on Apple servers, where the nose of the police has no place! Anyway, you have the possibility to activate the autodelete option after a certain time!
Signal is the base
Sefu-nost hasn't been taken by the police (yet), that's what it's based on. 🙂
