A vulnerability in WhatsApp allowed attackers to inject commercial spyware, developed by NSO Group, on to phones.
The spyware could be transmitted through a call, even if the call was unanswered.
It is unclear how many phones were targeted.

@sina @torproject Open an incognito mode tab, copy the URL of the paywalled article, search for it on Google (because they get a pass apparently), and open the link from the search results, and it'll give you the article without the wall
And my family, friends & acquaintances use WhatsApp too.
But many of my close family, friends or business associates have to use #XMPP or #Wire to communicate with me.
But what to do, we have to learn in hard way.
I am drafting a poster & flyers to highlight WhatsApp hack & promote free software alternative.
So distribute posters & flyer.

Still finding pros & cons.
Running an XMPP service dedicated for Indians is not big deal for the admin.
Like many admins, fund is tight operate.
If there is significant fund donated to Inditoot, there will be dedicated chat service, photo sharing, video sharing for Indians.
Even to entice the admin to consider launching xmpp service, we need to gather some statistic.
⚡ Are the enough userbase for xmpp service dedicated to Indian users ?
⚡ How many of us currently using any there xmpp server ?
⚡ are there decent amount of users willing to try xmpp ?

@torproject HA! "Commercial spyware." Haven't we learned to accept this as normal with anything owned by Facefarm yet? Don't worry, they'll look into it, be impressed by some of the code, and then try to use it in their next creepy patent.
