„Das gesamte Mitgliederverzeichnis von #WhatsApp stand online ungeschützt zum Abruf bereit. Österreichische Forscher konnten sich deshalb alle Telefonnummern und weitere Profildaten – darunter öffentliche Schlüssel – herunterladen, ohne auf ein Hindernis zu stoßen. Sie fanden mehr als 3,5 Milliarden Konten. Gemessen an der Zahl Betroffener ist es der wohl größte Datenabfluss aller Zeiten.“

... voici ce qu'il faut faire : Les chercheurs viennois formulent une recommandation claire: les utilisateurs devraient revoir la visibilité de leur photo de profil et de leur statut, et limiter l’accès à leurs seuls contacts. La modification se fait dans les réglages de l’application (icône en forme de roue dentée), via Confidentialité > Photo de profil / Info. Il est alors possible de choisir précisément qui voit ces informations.

Weirdly enough, unlike when I used to use #WhatsApp, I've never had anything like this happen to me on @signalapp
Then again, by comparison, imo, #Signal is a much better and more secure app.

@skry How would this data be indexed? It doesn't mention names, so what would anyone search on? #whatsapp

I'm now going through old-old digital photos and let me tell you: Kids nowadays have it soooo easy by having useable #EXIF information in photos.
And at the same time: Fuck #WhatsApp for stripping the date-taken information from pictures. There are reasonable privacy preserving steps and then there is this...
