WhatsApp, the Facebook owned instant messaging application which helps us to connect with our near and dear ones in our day to day life. With the help of this instant messaging application, we are able to stay updated with our family as well as friends, especially when we are away from them.
The company has taken lots of security measures to take care of your privacy as well as our chats from the people who are there to hack everyone’s account. The messenger also has end-to-end security encryption, which keeps the conversion safe. However, a software engineer named Robert Heaton has found that the WhatsApp has vulnerability which allows to spy another’s account activity. And it can be used to see the content of your conversations, also to identify when people are likely to be messaging with each other and when the users are asleep.
This is really a big concern, as the messaging app has billions of users and majority of users exchange their personal information via the messenger. And if someone can easily get into your account and he can read your contents, means you are at the gun point like situation.
