Pavel Durov called WhatsApp remove from smartphones

Pavel Durov in his Telegram-channel wrote a long letter to WhatsApp criticism and an appeal to remove the messenger from smartphones. According to him, the service is full of vulnerabilities, which once again confirmed recently detected backdoor, which opens access to user files using the MP4 file.

Here are all the highlights of the new publication, Pavel Durov:

• Like the previous backdoor, makes new data on your phone vulnerable to hackers and government agencies. All that is needed to make a hacker - is to send you the video - and all your confidential information will be in his power.
• WhatsApp not only can not protect your communications - this app is constantly used in as a Trojan horse to spy photos and messages that do not even belong to the messenger.
• Facebook has been a participant observer programs long before being acquired WhatsApp. It would be naive to believe that the company will change its policy after the transaction. This became even more evident after the recognition founder of WhatsApp Facebook regarding the sale of the service: "I sold the privacy of its users."

• Following the discovery of a backdoor on Facebook this week tried to bring down the public confused, saying that they have no evidence of the use of vulnerability hackers. Of course not, because to get them, you need to be able to analyze the video sent between users and the need to store video files on their servers constantly for this WhatsApp.
• However, rest assured security vulnerability of this magnitude will necessarily be used. Like the previous backdoor, it will be directed against human rights defenders, journalists and ordinary users.
• It is unlikely that someone could inadvertently allow such serious security bugs, conveniently suitable for monitoring on a regular basis.
• Regardless of the intentions of WhatsApp parent company, recommendations for their end-users are the same: if you do not want one day all your photos and messages have become readily available, you should remove from your WhatsApp phone.
