WhatsApp is the renowned instant
messaging service for smartphones. Facebook has acquired whatsapp in
February, 2014; the acquisition and its impact on whatsapp is not the

should focus on to report the vulnerabilities and exploitation of
whatsapp to facebook so that they can secure it. There is a famous

I was talking with some friends on
linkedin about whatsapp security and the way that bad guys (hackers)

did a wonderful job and we appreciate his effort.
Long story short, here is what he wrote
