> Sources familiar with WhatsApp’s internal investigation into the breach said a “significant” portion of the known victims are high-profile government and military officials spread across at least 20 countries on five continents.

Welp!

I know a military contractor working on stuff for non-Nato airforces. These guys use WattsApp for everything. It blew my mind.
Fun fact, a few of my friends and even family work for NSO and until recently they used WhatsApp for their own internal communication.

They literally moved off it a few days ago when shit hit the fan into more secure software because Facebook is targeting NSO employees.

Specifically what more secure software? Im looking for a secure messenger now.
Signal is usually one of the more popular one for a more secure alternative.
Funnily enough - they moved to signal. They are not telling me - but I assume they have an exploit for that as well - but it isn't controlled by Facebook.
I sincerely hope you are joking but from what I've seen myself it would not surprise me at all.
Nope. I wish it were a joke. Now this stuff isn't modern gear on F35s (think testing benches, displays, meetings, etc) but it's still horrific.
