Do you know that your WhatsApp is not Secured...?
Some months ago WhatsApp have made a public announcement that they have introduced an end to end encryption for messages. This means that only you and the
other party who you are chatting can read and have access to your
previous messages. But according to the research conducted by the IT team of Seebghana management team, it is somehow true that your
messages are secured.
The question is how secured are they?
According to the findings of the IT team , WhatsApp
has a feature which is call WhatsApp web. This feature enables any WhatsApp
user to be able to log-on to any computer and access and their WhatsApp on
the web so far as the computer is connected to the internet and the phone on
which the WhatsApp is installed is also having internet connection.
What this means is that, after you have successfully log-on
on to your computer you don’t really need your phone again to be able to send
or receive your WhatsApp messages.
Your phone can be in your pocket, home or anywhere else, so
far as it connected to the internet you can still WhatsApp.
I know by now you are wondering what about your contacts. This
features is designed in a way that so long as you are log-on to any computer using
your phone, your contacts and any previous chats will
be downloaded to the WhatsApp web.
How does this feature make your WhatsApp insecure?
Anybody who has access to your phone can log-on to their
computer using your phone. This means the person will be able to read all your messages and not only read but he or she can even reply to your
messages and even delete your chats.
That is not all the person can do when he log-on with your phone, he
will also have access to your contacts and even delete them if he wants to. The only time the
person will not be able to have access to your WhatsApp is when your phone is
off, or mobile data is off.
It doesn't matter the distance , the person will be able to
control your WhatsApp as long as your mobile device is connected to the
internet.
