WhatsApp 'backdoor' story was fake newsThe Guardian has drawn the ire of a large number of cryptography and security experts by publishing a story claiming that WhatsApp has a security backdoor. The Guardian has so far refused the demands of Tufekci and her colleagues and simply updated the article changing the word "backdoor" for "vulnerability" and including a statement from WhatsApp stating categorically that "WhatsApp does not give governments a 'backdoor' into its systems and would fight any government request to create a backdoor". At least one group protesting on the Women's March in Washington DC last weekend was reported to have warned protesters about using WhatsApp because of "a privacy hole". The Guardian has drawn the ire of a large number of cryptography and security experts by publishing a story claiming that WhatsApp has a security backdoor that would allow it, or governments, to snoop on encrypted messages. The Guardian has since published several other articles about WhatsApp including one by Tobias Boelter attempting to justify the claims of there being a "vulnerability" in WhatsApp.
