WhatsApp is at the center of an extremely important warning for hundreds of millions of people around the world, and this is because we are talking about an extremely serious problem that everyone should know about. More precisely, the director of research and analysis of the famous company Kaspersky, warns the users of the platform in relation to the fact that it is not a safe one, and that they should not distribute confidential information through it.
WhatsApp should not be seen as a secure platform by people because it is not, and according to the director of Kaspersky, people should not trust that it offers protection for their data. He also says that there is enough evidence that when people share sensitive information via WhatsApp they can end up losing it, or even having their accounts stolen, if they become victims of phishing attacks, carried out on a large scale.
WhatsApp: WARNING for Hundreds of MILLIONS of People in the World!
WhatsApp has always boasted that it has a secure platform, and that all the data in it can be kept confidential, but there are constant warnings from various IT security experts, and they tell us the opposite. A very important recommendation that comes from the Kaspersky director is to configure options that offer additional protection for WhatsApp accounts, especially when it comes to logging in third-party devices, which can protect us against attempts to steal accounts.
"It is important to understand that WhatsApp is not a secure platform, although many people think it is. The best thing to do is not share sensitive information. Many people share very sensitive information and in a very short time the victim lost control of their accounts. If the user is included in groups with a lot of people, it is advisable to set a privacy configuration that keeps any sensitive data hidden."
WhatsApp has been at the center of recommendations of this kind for years, and years, for days, and this is because it has been proven to us more than once that the platform is not nearly as secure as Facebook presents it. In recent years, this has led to a substantial decrease in people's trust in the platform, but those from WhatsApp have repeatedly tried to change the perception of public opinion, although they have not always been very successful, in the end.
WhatsApp is constantly rolling out new features to let people know they can use the platform safely, but it still has a long way to go to truly gain the trust of more people.
