A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

WhatsApp has been exploited before with a zero-day, check the Complaints section in this link:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)
The reality is WhatsApp and Signal will continue to be high-value targets for exploits given the number of users, cloud infrastructure reliance and promise of secure communications, so it's a wise idea to avoid them for defence matters.
Best use apps that are less audited and practice security by obscurity?
