WhatsApp Messenger Announces Full End to End Encryption

WhatsApp Messenger has announced that it has completed a technological development that enables full end-to-end encryption.From now on when you and your contacts use the latest version of the app, every call you make, and every message, photo, video, file, and voice message you send, is end-to-end encrypted by default, including group chats.”The idea is simple: when you send a message, the only person who can read it is the person or group chat that you send that message to. No one can see inside that message. Not cybercriminals. Not hackers. Not oppressive regimes. Not even us. End-to-end encryption helps make communication via WhatsApp private – sort of like a face-to-face conversation.”Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here

Security Flaw in iOS 9.3.1 Allows Access to Contacts and Photos Without Passcode [Video]

A security flaw in iOS 9.3.1 allows access to your contacts and photos without entering a passcode. The vulnerability was discovered by Jose Rodriguez.The procedure involves using Siri to initiate a Twitter search then using a 3D Touch gesture on contact information to bring up the Quick Actions menu. Tapping Add to Existing Contact brings up your full contact list and adding a photo to the contact brings up your entire photo library.To protect yourself from this security flaw, you can turn off access to Photos and Twitter for Siri. This can be down from the Settings -> Privacy ->Photos and Settings->Privacy->Twitter menus.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
