ஹிட்லர் பதிலளித்தார்: “வாக்காளர்களும் இப்படித்தான். நான்கரை ஆண்டுகளுக்கு நாம் அவர்களின் இறகுகளைப் பிடுங்குகிறோம். பிறகு, கடைசி ஆறு மாதங்களில், அவர்களுக்குச் சில தானியங்களைத் தூக்கி எறிகிறோம். அந்தச் சில தானியங்களுக்காக, வாக்காளர்கள் நாம் நான்கரை ஆண்டுகளாகச் செய்த அத்தனை அநீதிகளையும் மறந்துவிட்டு—மீண்டும் நமக்கே வாக்களிக்கிறார்கள்.”

Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

A lawsuit filed in San Francisco alleges that #WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption contains backdoors allowing #Meta employees to access user messages in real-time.

According to the complaint, internal tools allow engineers to view chats by User ID without a separate decryption step, bypassing the Signal Protocol protections the app claims to use.

The lawsuit cites £whistleblowers who claim that workers can request access to specific accounts via internal tasks, gaining unlimited temporal scope to a user's history, including deleted messages. Meta has labeled these claims false and absurd.

Technical experts note that while the Signal Protocol itself is mathematically secure, the integrity of end-to-end encryption relies entirely on the security of the endpoints. Potential vulnerabilities in WhatsApp include unencrypted cloud backups, metadata collection, and the fact that the client software is closed-source.

Without the ability to audit the code or verify public keys through an independent directory, users must trust that the application is not exfiltrating plaintext data before it is encrypted for transit.

The legal action highlights the ongoing tension between corporate privacy marketing and the technical reality of centralized messaging platforms. If the allegations of an internal "widget" for message access are proven true, it would represent a fundamental breach of the encryption standards Meta has advertised since 2016.

Love? Actually: Fake dating app used as lure in targeted spyware campaign in Pakistan

A sophisticated Android spyware campaign targeting individuals in Pakistan has been uncovered, using romance scam tactics as a lure. The malicious app, named GhostChat, poses as a chat platform with fake female profiles, requiring hardcoded passcodes to access. Once installed, it enables covert surveillance and data exfiltration. The campaign is part of a broader spy operation, including a ClickFix attack compromising victims' computers and a WhatsApp device-linking attack gaining access to victims' accounts. These related attacks used websites impersonating Pakistani governmental organizations. The threat actor employs multiple tactics across mobile and desktop platforms, blending social engineering, malware delivery, and espionage techniques.
