Messaging applications have very little competition, unlike other sectors, few applications are able to stand up to Telegram and WhatsApp, the leaders of instant messaging. However, it is not all oregano in the bush, and if on more than one occasion we have strongly criticized the absence of security measures in WhatsApp, now it turns out that Telegram is also joining the party. Both applications suffer from vvulnerabilities in your programming that could be putting hundreds of millions of accounts at risk, available to almost anyone with the necessary knowledge.
And is that a problem is solved and another arises. Not long ago we were talking about the WebKit and Nintendo Switch problems, which would allow the console system to be hacked. Now it is up to WhatsApp and Telegram, or perhaps this second not so much, in fact the official Telegram account on Twitter has launched into saying that WhatsApp security flaws are not present in Telegram.
Recently the team of Check Point They have accused WhatsApp and Telegram of being susceptible to being attacked through online systems, which would allow you to obtain full control of third-party accounts, shortly after the accusations of Wikileaks regarding the security measures set out.
We do not know the technical details, only that someone with knowledge of HTML could access your account thanks to WhatsApp Web for example, literally leaving you without an account. The main cause One of these vulnerabilities is the method in which both companies have programmed their messaging web client.
They have published a video, specifically the one that we have left you at the top of this article so that you can get a little more or less an idea of how this system works. We take this opportunity to remember that these types of practices are completely illegal, and we should not violate the privacy of other users.
