FBI can retrieve data from WhatsApp users in real time

[НСК-СБ]

ФБР может получать данные пользователей WhatsApp в режиме реального времени.​

В Сети появилось внутреннее руководство ФБР по извлечению сообщений и метаданных из мессенджеров.

Ранее неразглашенный документ ФБР свидетельствуют о том, что мониторинг активности пользователей WhatsApp и Facebook является обычным делом для бюро. В документе представлено руководство по законному извлечению сообщений и метаданных из мессенджеров WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Viber, Signal, Threema, WeChat, Line и Wickr.

Согласно документу, iMessage и WhatsApp предоставляют ФБР доступ к большему числу категорий данных, чем другие платформы, в том числе к содержимому и истории полученных и отправленных сообщений. Они также сотрудничают с властями и дальше, если есть ордер на обыск, предоставляя им данные предыдущих резервных копий, списки контактов и другие данные.

WhatsApp, к примеру, является единственным из девяти упомянутых в документах приложений, использующим так называемый "pen register" - особый запрос, фиксирующий источник и место назначения каждого сообщения.

В ответ на запрос "pen register" WhatsApp производит определенные метаданные каждые 15 минут. Другими словами, даже без запроса содержимого сообщения из WhatsApp метаданные фиксируют, кто и когда отправляет сообщения, а также какие другие пользователи есть в их адресной книге.

Согласно документу, только iMessage, WhatsApp и Line хранят содержимое сообщений и предоставляют их властям. Остальные шесть упомянутых в руководстве мессенджеров не раскрывают содержимое сообщений.

And what, in fact, surprises? We have had SORM for a long time, without which no PBX will be allowed to turn on a common network, perhaps a very small one - office ...

Thanks for the information. So I agree with my colleague, everything has been under control for a long time. But grasping is not a bulky problem.

FBI: WhatsApp transmits near-real-time user activity data to investigators​

The WhatsApp messenger, at the request of the investigation, provides data on new actions in the account of interest to the security forces with a delay of 15 minutes. Relevant FBI document published Property of the People organization.
We are talking about information regarding who and when called a particular user, as well as with whom he himself contacted. The FBI can also get information about a user's messages if they have an iPhone and the archive from the messenger is stored in iCloud. The list of those whom a particular user has blocked can be obtained by the investigation by a court decision.
The document also provides information on the receipt of data by the security forces from other messengers. So, iMessage provides the security forces with basic information about the user, and the content of his messages is "limited." Telegram does not release information about the content of messages, it can provide the IP address and phone number of a particular user if they are being investigated for confirmed cases of terrorism. Signal can provide the date of registration of the account and its last connection, Viber - the phone number and IP address at the time of registration. The last messenger, at the request of the security forces, can issue metadata - to whom this or that user wrote and called, or from whom he received calls and messages.

In September, the non-profit organization ProPublica informed that WhatsApp removes end-to-end encryption for messages that other users have complained about and sends them to employees for review in the clear. Unencrypted messages that users complained about go through artificial intelligence, and then through a company employee.
At the beginning of the year, it turned out that WhatsApp had eat Access to user metadata such as app activity, operating system, browser, IP address, mobile network, phone number, and device ID. At the same time, the founder of Facebook, which owns the messenger, Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly stated about the security of the messenger and emphasized that "even WhatsApp cannot read a single word."
