Well yes, the hare jumped and the ultra encryption of Whatsapp has windows that reveal some information that surely many of us would not like to see. If we read the fine print of the new encryption of this instant messaging app, we see that it is quite complete, but it has privacy loopholes.
This security improvement in chats was expected by many, and let's not forget that Whatsapp was one of the applications that hackers attacked, and not so hacker, they accessed more easily and allowed to read the messages of anyone who sent them through the same Wifi.I remember in a "Saved" program, how one of the best hackers in the world taught us how easy it was to access that information, in an airport with public Wi-Fi.
To everyone's delight, that will no longer happen since the application's end-to-end encryption will make it much more difficult, if not impossible, to access messages that we can share with our contacts.
But what information does this new feature reveal?
WHAT SHOWS THE NEW ENCRYPTION OF WHATSAPP?
If we read the fine print of the Whatsapp terms and conditions of service, in the point « The Information WhatsApp Does Not Collect «, we can read this
Translating what is highlighted in the previous image, we can read « Notwithstanding the foregoing, WhatsApp may retain the date and time associated with successfully delivered messages and the mobile phone numbers involved in the messages, as well as any other information that Whatsapp is legally required to collect."
Describing the translation, this means that there are data from the conversations that are available to legal requirements by authorities and information agencies. WhatsApp will not be able to facilitate the conversation, but it will provide the day, time and mobile number of the contacts that have participated in it, data that could demonstrate facts, such as an affair.
We hope you found this news interesting, as much as we did.
