Why WhatsApp is dangerous. He was hacked completely

[Самвел Армения]

Dear colleagues, IAPD administration, I ask you to consider the proposal to replace the WhatsApp application - by Wickr me - Wickr is the world's safest messenger! Wickr - no leads!
This is how this American messenger positions itself on the market. And for good reason, because in the recent Who Has Your Back report on data protection against government requests, Wickr bypassed the largest player in the market - WhatsApp, receiving 4 stars out of 5. Also, like Russian Telegram, Wickr offers $ 100,000 to anyone who can find a flaw in This instant messaging application was developed by five programmers from San Francisco: Nico Sell, Robert Statica, Chris Howell, Kara Coppa. The messenger saw the world in 2012. The app is currently available in 23 languages. Let's see why Wickr can be trusted.

• The peculiarity of the correspondence inside Wickr is that messages will self-destruct both on the sender's device and on the recipient's device after a while.
• The user can independently set a timer to clear the message. The time can be set from one second to several days.
• Another security element of the Wickr messenger is the inability to take a screenshot of the correspondence.
• Since the main idea of the messenger is secure correspondence, the developers decided not to introduce entertaining elements and stickers. But this is also a plus: there is no advertising content in the application.
• The application uses encryption protocols AES 256, ECDH521 and RSA 4096. The messenger company adheres to the policy of protecting user data: no user data remains on Wickr servers.

Good evening, dear Samvel Araratovich.
You are not the first who "comes" with such a proposal and we had a discussion of this issue in our group, I will answer, as our no less respected colleague from Crimea, Andrey Belokon said, "why break something that works well !?
This time.
Now two - if the state "needs" you, then no "safest messenger in the world" will save you!
An example of this is the somewhat forgotten scandal due to which about a year and a half ago in the Russian Federation there were "purges" of detectives and information specialists (about 80 people were "hooked" in Russia then), some clever people leaked personal information on Petrov and Boshirov ...

Rosbalt: leaks about Petrov and Boshirov led to detentions

Identified persons who provided information about Petrov and Boshirov

That (those) smart guy (s) used the Telegram and considered themselves protected.))
"We got" them through the "hardware" (phone)!
You can bet whatever you want, any super-duper secure messenger, but if you are an enemy of the State, then they will get you.
Well, three!
If you go to the messenger, then to your own. And not because we need to "hide" from someone, but because none of them suits us - we need a multilingual messenger!

We will finish modifying the forum so that we can make it multilingual, we will start creating our own messenger, so that a detective who does not speak Spanish or English, for example, can communicate without problems with a colleague who does not speak Russian.

With an enemy of the state, that's for sure.

Well, like, there are telegrams. Vatsap compared to Telegram = earth and sky

Not surprisingly, this happened with Vatsap)
