Facebook Messenger is the thing where everything is minded and you'll get all the AI bots etc. WhatsApp instead is their chat app for users how don't like Facebook. WhatsApp has way more users than Facebook Messengers. And now the

Once your number had e2e support0, you can't switch to a phone without e2e. Notifications on key changes are switched off by default, but I hope they still warn you in the chat history. We'll see.

You could backup the key like every other account password, too. Save it in your password manager, print it. Whatever. This isn't really an argument. When Android backups Wifi passwords, those are encrypted with your Google password th

No. Actually, I would say fake encryption is even dangerous. WhatsApp might not always run end-to-end encryption for compatibility issues, there isn't even a visual indication for encrypted connections, there is no way to verify keys (

In my case using SMS for 2FA only works within their new interface. Whenever an online shop is redirecting to PayPal, it's the old login page (and doesn't notice when already logged in on PayPal), so I basically never receive 2FA

Also keep in mind they tested all extensions with their default filter lists configuration while it reads like EasyList and EasyPrivacy would be efficient enough. As applying filter rules is basically the main work of those extensions and m

While it's also about liability, there seem to be people deadly allergic to even small amounts of e.g. nuts. Those notices are shown when production machines are also shared used for other products and cleaning is never completely safe

I like the integrated window control buttons and it has a nicer name than this project. Besides from that both are good wrappers for web.whatsapp.com and have native notifications, notification counter etc.

I wonder why you're excluding StartSSL. It's no matter if you trust them as long as all major OS/browsers trust them.

Having ads means you're acting commercially which is a very bad idea if you already in a semi-legal area. Besides from that it's far away from their initially spread ideology to make a lot of money or show porn ads. I mean TPB use

While the effort is remarkable, the web isn't fixed and this isn't responsive. Just wondering what happens if someone hasn't that font installed or the browser rendering is still different and everything is off then. At least

Hilarious if you see how Amazon still doesn't care about hyphenation on their Kindle platforms. It's an easy job, e.g. the algorithm used by LaTeX is free to use and with Amazon's size they might even build a good database to

I haven't read the long article but it ends with: > UPDATE (2014-09-06): As […] was the first to point out, RFC 7217 addresses all of my issues with “privacy” addresses. Let implementation come soon! So, not backing your message.

What a joke, I hate those biased generalized articles. > 1. Early-stage startup teams cannot afford to handle the hardware fragmentation that plagues Android. You have a full stack of iOS devices, too, maybe even more expensive. It'

So why should they patch it then? Keep in mind that any attack using that bug is quite stealthy.

What's exactly the problem? Could be fixed by either getting the latest package upgrades from you favorite distro or compile an old version yourself with a specific flag set as mentioned in the security report. Or are you behind some t

Also you have to get to an USB port, seems like attackers know for some ATMs where to cut a hole in for that. But the real problem is that the machine isn't isolated well enough through hardware design. Just imagine you could access an

It's definitely not vendor specific since I've seen manuals for various devices. When successfully started Android, you should be able to access it by long-pressing the power button to get into a popup menu, then long-tapping on t

Well, current Android versions support starting the device in safe mode, not executing any third-party apps then, so that you can remove misbehaving apps. Looks like this is made exactly for such situations. Though I'm not sure if that

Are you using SPF and DKIM? Those proof that the emails are verified by the DNS of the sender's domain. Maybe IP based blacklists are more likely ignored since providers could rather block based on domains than. Both technologies are a

I would say, you always have to trust the service provider. While you can manually verify a direct end-to-end connection etc., web apps could always easily change, without user notice. Well, but that's also true for any proprietary app

Well, but everyone could try guessing the names then, something they probably don't want. After all, it's just speculation what they have hidden there.

Well, differently to (mostly) pirate sites, GitHub hosts a ton of projects, how should they know that this is related to Popcorn Time? If they have any specific clue, they is quite a risk that they publish that and get real problems.

If they like the public to read it, they would have used a signature instead of an encryption. ;)
