We focus on the latest news surrounding data breaches, leaks and hacks plus daily internet security articles.
This week, we discovered that a vulnerability had been exploited and was used as part of the well-publicised WhatsApp security breach.
Arguably, news of this latest data breach couldn’t have come at a worse time for the owners of the messaging platform, Facebook, who remain embroiled in data and privacy issues that have arisen in the last few years. WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption that was enacted recently has perhaps made us all feel a little more secure when using the messaging service, but this week’s hack has been cause for alarm.
The vulnerability is said to have been resolved, but with unknown numbers of people affected, should we be worried?
