As much as I’d love this to be true, I have to be very critical of any evidence claiming that WhatsApp is not secure.
The lawsuit does not provide any technical details to back up the rather sensational claims.
Is their implementation of the Signal protocol broken? Are they not using the Signal protocol?
Without answers to these questions, I have to assume that anybody could make these claims. Plausible, but without substance.
The same applies to this:
Pavel Durov, CEO of rival messaging app Telegram, also weighed in-. "You’d have to be braindead to believe WhatsApp is secure in 2026," he tweeted. "When we analyzed how WhatsApp implemented its 'encryption,' we found multiple attack vectors."
Ok, cool, guy from messenger, which doesn’t even encrypt chats by default. Where’s your analysis?
