WhatsApp. The most popular messaging application in the whole world is not immune to a very serious problem that affects users' phones, whether it is about those with the iOS or Android operating system. It is about a malware attack that has been carried out through some websites for years, with Google saying that only the iPhone is affected, but Android is also affected, and WhatsApp is not without problems.
WhatsApp. That attack involves infecting the phones with malware, which allows hackers to access pictures, or messages, from the phones, but the messaging application is also affected in another way. More precisely, according to IT security experts, it seems that this malware prevents WhatsApp from encrypting the messages that are sent or received through the platform, which allows hackers to see all communications.
WhatsApp. CAREFUL! Very SERIOUS PROBLEM for Phones
WhatsApp. Neither Telegram, iMessage, or other applications through which encrypted messages can be sent are excluded from breaking the encryption through this malware, it being very complex, so everyone is affected. China used it to monitor a certain ethnic group in the country, but it is so powerful that even a platform like WhatsApp, or iMessage, can have the encryption systems for messages completely removed.
WhatsApp. Those from Apple have solved this serious security problem since April of this year, so all those who have installed the updates released after this month do not have to worry. All those who have previous updates should immediately install the latest public version of iOS, and that's because it doesn't matter what version the WhatsApp application has, the problem is at the operating system level.
WhatsApp. In the case of Android, it would seem that this problem also exists, but it is not known from which version it would have been solved, or if it has not been solved at all for now.
