Ich geb's zu: In #WhatsApp tue ich manchmal nur so, als ob ich mir Sprachnachrichten sofort und in Gänze anhöre. Einfach, um der Gegenseite nicht auf den Schlips zu treten. Reichlich befremdlich finde ich die Zeitgenossen, die online gehen, dann in den Chat, sich dabei bewusst sein sollten, dass ihr Onlinestatus oben angezeigt wird, ein Emoji verteilen oder sogar ein »Super!« tippen – und wieder rausgehen, obwohl die Zeit niemals gereicht hätte, um sich die Nachricht komplett anzuhören.

WhatsApp showed me I can enable users from 3rd party apps to contact me inside WhatsApp. So I tried to enable it. It can't be saved and throws error.
TBH I'm not even surprised.
Whats up, Boomer?

En un grupo de #whatsapp al que me añadieron sin pedirme permiso, el administrador se queja de que la gente no participa, ni aparece, ni dice nada.
What a time to be alive...
Países Bajos advierten de #ciberataques rusos contra #Signal y #WhatsApp en todo el mundo: no necesitan #malware
Zdá se, že v rodině neexistuje nikdo další, kdo by si myslel, že #WhatsApp je zlo. Tak jsem zvědavý, jak dlouho před Metou devítiletého syna uchráním. 🫤
Für die US-Dienste, wie #NSA #CIA #FBI macht es keinen Unterschied, ob Du #Whatsapp oder #Signal nutzt. Die Daten auf den US-Clouds haben sie alle im Zugriff, das Gesetz dazu heißt #CloudAct dabei spielt es auch keine Rolle wo auf der Welt die US-Clouds stehen. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act
Dutch intelligence agencies warn of a phishing campaign targeting Signal and WhatsApp accounts of government officials and military personnel.

BeatBanker: both banker and miner for Android
BeatBanker is a sophisticated Android malware campaign targeting Brazil. It spreads through phishing attacks using a fake Google Play Store website. The malware combines a cryptocurrency miner and a banking Trojan capable of hijacking devices and overlaying screens. It employs creative persistence mechanisms, including playing an inaudible audio loop. BeatBanker monitors device status, disguises itself as legitimate apps, and targets cryptocurrency transactions on Binance and Trust Wallet. Recent variants have replaced the banking module with the BTMOB remote administration tool, expanding its capabilities. The threat demonstrates advanced evasion techniques, uses Firebase Cloud Messaging for command and control, and targets multiple browsers for data collection. Victims are primarily located in Brazil, with some samples spreading via WhatsApp.
