Postoji lažni osjećaj sigurnosti kada je u pitanju WhatsApp , a to je zbog bilješke o šifriranju koju s vremena na vrijeme vidimo u porukama. Problem je što enkripcija nije dovoljna jer se vaš WhatsApp račun još uvijek može hakirati.

Do sada bismo svi trebali znati da je WhatsApp vrlo popularan; zapravo, to je najpopularnija platforma za razmjenu poruka danas dostupna s više od milijardu korisnika mjesečno. Servis, koji je sada u vlasništvu Facebooka^(Facebook) , ima puno problema s privatnošću koji visi nad glavom, ali to danas nije u fokusu.

Zaustavite^{(Stop WhatsApp)} hakiranje WhatsApp poruka

Istražit ćemo glavne načine na koje bi treća strana mogla hakirati vaše WhatsApp poruke ako ne budete oprezni, što bi zauzvrat moglo ugroziti vašu privatnost do beskraja.

1. Mogućnost čitanja poruka na Facebooku^(Facebook)
2. Pazite na povezivanje medijskih datoteka
3. Budite oprezni s GIF datotekama
4. WhatsApp Web može biti veliki problem

Pogledajmo ovo detaljnije.

1] Mogućnost čitanja poruka na Facebooku^(Facebook)

Da, dobro ste pročitali. Moguće je da bi Facebook mogao čitati vaše WhatsApp poruke, ali do sada ništa nije dokazano. Prema blog postu ljudi iz WhatsAppa^(WhatsApp) prije nekog vremena, korištenje end-to-end enkripcije moglo bi uzrokovati da Facebook čita poruke.

“We’ve rolled out end-to-end encryption. When you and the people you message are using the latest version of WhatsApp, your messages are encrypted by default, which means you’re the only people who can read them. Even as we coordinate more with Facebook in the months ahead, your encrypted messages stay private and no one else can read them. Not WhatsApp, not Facebook, nor anyone else,” according to a WhatsApp blog post.

To je prilično čudno, ali to je sadašnja realnost situacije. Ovo je više problem sa sigurnošću nego bilo što drugo, ali treba ga spomenuti.

2] Pazite na povezivanje medijskih datoteka

Ovaj je zanimljiv jer koristi prednosti načina na koji aplikacije primaju medije, a to vrijedi i za WhatsApp i Telegram jer su ranjivi.

Prema onome što smo shvatili, napad počinje automatskim instaliranjem aplikacije za zlonamjerni softver na vaš uređaj. Aplikacija će zatim pratiti dolazne datoteke za WhatsApp i Telegram , a kada se to dogodi, uklonit će dolazne datoteke i zamijeniti ih nečim zločestim ili lažnom datotekom ako hoćete.

Korisnici obje platforme mogli bi postati žrtve neželjene pošte i prijevara ako nisu dobro educirani o tom pitanju.

Dakle, kako da riješimo ovaj problem? Pa, onemogućili smo značajku Spremi u galeriju^{(Save to Gallery)} u WhatsAppu^(WhatsApp) kako bismo bili sigurni. Što se Telegrama^(Telegram) tiče , mi vam tu ne možemo pomoći.

Kako sada stoji, radi bolje zaštite, programeri WhatsAppa^(WhatsApp) i Telegrama^(Telegram) dužni su riješiti ovaj problem.

3] Budite oprezni s GIF datotekama

GIF-ovi^(GIFs) su sjajni, ali s pravim alatima, napadač može pretvoriti GIF u opasno oružje. Vidite, budući da GIG koristi više kodiranih okvira, hakeri mogu instalirati kod unutar slike. Također razumijemo da hakeri mogu iskoristiti način na koji WhatsApp obrađuje svoje slike kad god korisnici otvore odjeljak Galerija^(Gallery) za pregled sadržaja.

Ako se pojavi situacija u kojoj bi haker mogao poslati GIF sliku korisniku, ta bi fotografija mogla ugroziti cijelu povijest razgovora.

4] WhatsApp Web može biti veliki problem

Mnogi korisnici diljem svijeta iskorištavaju ono što WhatsApp Web ima za ponuditi^{(WhatsApp Web has to offer)} jer olakšava povezivanje s prijateljima i obitelji dok ste za računalom. Nema potrebe posezati za njihovim pametnim telefonom kada stigne poruka, samo odgovorite s weba WhatsApp^{(WhatsApp Web)} .

Nažalost, stvari nisu tako breskve kako se čine. Evo u čemu je stvar, ako korisnik nije previše upućen u WhatsApp Web ili ga nikada prije nije koristio, trećoj strani bi bilo lako aktivirati uslugu na svom računalu pomoću pametnog telefona žrtve.

Kada se to učini, krivac će imati pristup cijeloj povijesti razgovora, koja uključuje slike i videozapise. Je li moguće izbjeći ovaj problem? Pa, odgovor na to je odlučno da.

Korisnici mogu utvrditi je li WhatsApp web aktivan na njihovom uređaju ako prijeđu prstom prema dolje s vrha zaslona. Trebali bi vidjeti bilješku koja kaže da je WhatsApp Web trenutno aktivan. I ne samo to, moguće je odrediti koliko je uređaja spojeno na WhatsApp Web , ali najveća značajka je mogućnost odjave s jednog ili svih njih.

How can I stop my WhatsApp messages from being hacked?

There is a false sense of security wherе WhatsApp is concerned, and that is due to the encryption note we see from time-to-time in messages. The problem is, encryption is not enough because your WhatsApp account can still be hacked.

By now we should all know that WhatsApp is very popular; in fact, it is the most popular messaging platform available today with over 1 billion monthly users. The service, which is now owned by Facebook, has a lot of privacy issues hanging over its head, but that is not the focus today.

Stop WhatsApp messages from being hacked

We are going to look into the top ways a third-party could hack your WhatsApp messages if you’re not careful, which could in-turn compromise your privacy to no end.

1. The possibility of Facebook reading messages
2. Look out for Media File Jacking
3. Be wary of GIF files
4. WhatsApp Web can be a huge problem

Let us look at this in more detail.

1] The possibility of Facebook reading messages

Yes, you’ve read that properly. It is possible Facebook could read your WhatsApp messages, but so far, nothing has been proven. According to a blog post from the folks at WhatsApp a while back, the use of end-to-end encryption could cause Facebook to read messages.

“We’ve rolled out end-to-end encryption. When you and the people you message are using the latest version of WhatsApp, your messages are encrypted by default, which means you’re the only people who can read them. Even as we coordinate more with Facebook in the months ahead, your encrypted messages stay private and no one else can read them. Not WhatsApp, not Facebook, nor anyone else,” according to a WhatsApp blog post.

Its quite strange, but that is the reality of the situation right now. Now, this is more of an issue with security than anything else, but it does need mentioning.

2] Look out for Media File Jacking

This one is interesting because it takes advantage of how apps receive media, and that goes for both WhatsApp and Telegram because they are vulnerable.

From what we’ve come to understand, the attack starts off by automatically installing a malware app on your device. The app will then monitor incoming files for WhatsApp and Telegram, and when that happens, it will remove the incoming files and replace them with something nefarious, or a fake file if you will.

Users of both platforms could fall victim to spams and scams if they are not well educated on the matter.

So, how do we fix this problem? Well, we disabling the Save to Gallery feature in WhatsApp to be on the safe side. As for Telegram, well, we cannot help you on that end.

As it stands, for better protection, the developers of WhatsApp and Telegram are required to fix this problem.

3] Be wary of GIF files

GIFs are great, but with the right tools, an attacker can transform a GIF into a dangerous weapon. You see, since a GIG uses multiple encoded frames, hackers can install code within the image. We also understand that hackers can take advantage of the way WhatsApp processes its images whenever users open the Gallery section to view content.

If a situation arises where a hacker could send a GIF image to a user, that photo could compromise the entire chat history.

4] WhatsApp Web can be a huge problem

Many users around the world take advantage of what WhatsApp Web has to offer because it makes it easier to connect with friends and family when around the computer. There is no need to reach for their smartphone when a message comes in, just reply from WhatsApp Web.

Unfortunately, things are not as peachy as they seem. Here’s the thing, if a user is not too versed on WhatsApp Web or they’ve never used it before, it would be easy for a third-party to activate the service on their computer using the victim’s smartphone.

When this is done, the culprit will have access to the entire chat history, which includes images and videos. Is it possible to avoid this problem? Well, the answer to that is a resounding yes.

Users can tell if WhatsApp web is active on their device if they swipe their finger down from the top of the screen. They should see a note that states, WhatsApp Web is currently active. Not only that, it is possible to tell how many devices are connected to WhatsApp Web, but the greatest feature is the option to logout from one or all of them.
