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.
