    Y’all should stop calling everything “the bare minimum” when it’s literally not. Respect is the bare minimum, actually going out of your way to comfort and have an open ear for someone isn’t. Doing something like this is truly very nice and a great thing of him to do. I hope shit gets better for you and I salute *Incredible Cybers* for being mature when it’s needed!

I’m glad that a position opened up for you that is a great next step in your career. You will never find out your real worth until you give life your best shot. Work hard and give it all you’ve got. You will find more success than you had ever thought.

    As I know, no application is bug free. So It may be a simple mistake coz while programming we mainly focus on our goal not the security system. So even though they use any encryption or sth else to protect user data later phase. The programmers also should be aware and cure full while developing every single unit or module and while integrating them.

      @@sovereignboss1841 nothing technically, but i thought there maybe a way to inject something with a call, as calls are always being recieved without user consent. So for an app like whatsapp where most of the people use with all permissions enabled, the person hacking through call can also access all permissions that are given to the "WhatsApp" and also read and write whatsapp data, leak messages and medias, or a ransom which encrypts the whole /sdcard.
      I didn't try to hack it nor find a vulnerability, but thought it is likely to happen. Just imagined that and after some day(or weeks or a month or two i don't remember) this vulnerability is found.

    For the WhatsApp manufacturer to be silent about this vulnerability could mean they are unaware of it. Hacking VOIP apps is something there is rarely discussed by experts. However, as they say, New innovation comes with its own peculiar challenges. It will be good if you educate us more about how to avoid been hacked.

    • @zaidsabih3287
      @zaidsabih3287 5 років тому +3

      I disagree Alhassan, hacking using VOIP and other protocols is not something new, even if it is then Facebook is one of the biggest companies in the world so they can afford to hire the best in the industry.
      As for securing ourselves from such attacks, there's nothing you could have done if you were using whatsapp while it was vulnerable, the only people that were secure are the ones that just did not use whatsapp, thats why this is a very dangerous vulnerability.

    @andrewmackie1619 5 років тому +4

    Thank you for the informative video. At this time I am sitting on the fence about whether it was a deliberate action or a programming accident although I have my own suspicions about this . The method of attack is similar to the way that cellular phones may be attacked using system text messages, however in the Whatsapp attack there is no redirection to an external website (for download of custom malware) and so the potential effects on the user are much greater. We also need to be aware that certain Asian based cellular based chat software may also able to be compromised !

    I guess buying backdoors ect is one of many ways.
    Here is another;
    Stepp 1: Hire "300" good coders. Stepp 2: check for theyr trust and ability to not talk to much, then train them for what theyr real purpose needs. Stepp 3: Make them apply for relevant, mayor and upcomming software dev companys. Stepp 3: inject magic camo portal and prepear for upcomming tasks.

    Deliberate, no contest. This is just day-to-day Facebook business model. WhatsApp is Facebook, why would anyone expect any bit of privacy or security? The only course of action is not to update but to delete WhatsApp. Go for some app offering the same features with real privacy and security, like Wire (free) and Threema (not free)
