Title: WhatsApp Security Vulnerability
description: WhatsApp is undeniably the first messenger that pops into our minds when we think about instant messaging applications for Android and iOS smartphones.
WhatsApp is also available for laptops and PCs. The main reason for this app's popularity is its end-to-end encryption service which makes it the most private to chat. If you value privacy, it is worth using this application. Unfortunately, some problems appeared some time ago. WhatsApp has always promised a secure platform for end-to-end encryption for private and professional users.
However, there is a vulnerability that causes quite a lot of problems.
What now ? Attackers could exploit the vulnerability to gain access to the user's chat with other contacts.
How to do it ? This can be achieved by attacking the cloud servers WhatsApp uses to store chats. Only conversations on devices receive full encryption support. However, cloud server backups do not receive this encrypted protection.
Is WhatsApp doing anything to keep your cloud backups safe from hackers?
WhatsApp is currently working intensively to fix this vulnerability. However, before it is repaired, it is recommended to be safe and careful.
For the time of repairs, we suggest switching to other equally good communicators such as Signal and Telegram. They work very smoothly and efficiently. And what is important, they do not cause any problems during use.
