As a Brazilian I can surely say that it's not that easy to just 'use another app'. Here in Brazil basically EVERYONE uses WhatsApp. If you have a smartphone and a phone number it's literally impossible to talk to people in the internet if you're not using WhatsApp. It would be really nice if we all could use something other than these big tech junk, but I guess we're all fucked in the hands of Meta at least for a while.

[@kurzi7062]

So if everyone has WhatsApp, why is it a problem that someone knows that your number is registered with WhatsApp?

[@nomore-constipation]

That's an interesting dilemma. I'd personally like to just avoid anything "everyone else" uses. Unless it's in a bubble of sorts. It's like having WindowXP back in the day. I moved early to Linux because I didn't want to have to use what everyone else was using and all the security issues I ran a Virtual Box with XP but I actually made my kids slowly acclimate to using Linux as they grew up. Even installed it on a laptop so they could play games on a VB on XP. Sure it was slow as hell but it also was just a low graphics game not like today. Gotta tell you, one of the best decisions I made back then was to teach them a different OS. They now don't have fear in using another OS like the rest of the population seems to have. Lol

When everyone around you is using Whatsapp (and I mean everyone, work, school, your friends, whoever) it isn't as easy as just "not using whatsapp". It means being an inconvenience to others..

[@rulu1828]

True (especially people in Latin America). It has to be plan B in that case: maximum social profit while mitigating the risk and cost to you to minimum. If you can, try to get an independent separate phone for each situation (social, work, etc). Treat it like you would passwords. Harder for those who are living in countries with SIM registration (thus no access to burners), but at this point the increased cost is worth it in my opinion. Also try to always convert people out, it might work and they might switch (low chance of success, but also low effort at attempt).

[@rawhide_kobayashi]

being an inconvenience is the only way to implement change

Most people are mindless sheep who follow the crowd. All you have to do is convince your school teacher about more secure apps, then everyone in your class , or if you convince the principal then the whole school will have to switch.

This attack vector reminds me of how in Roblox, you could make anyone say a text chat message via scripts, including players. Roblox even wrote a similar "We'll ban you if you abuse this" note in the documentation. This led to an incident in July 2022 where players accidentally got banned by joining a malicious place (or hacked games) where they would automatically say horrible phrases which triggered the automated moderation. Thankfully, Roblox did poison ban the malicious users and start fixing the vulnerability (can't find a date-stamp on if and when it was fixed...), and affected players were able to get their accounts unbanned if they could show Roblox Support that they got banned via the exploit.

As I'm still working on a decentralized messenger with GNUnet: I implemented links to start a chat with someone, not using a phone number or even a username. It uses a public key of a randomly generated key pair (per link) which allows you to retrieve the actually required information (which are a 512bit hash and another public key) to start communication. However the user who created the link can drop it at any time technically, leaving zero information behind bound to them. Also the hash required to open a chat is randomly generated for each chat room. The public key required to start communication is randomly generated per peer in GNUnet. But you don't need to use your own personal peer in theory. So even that part could be not identifying you. In short though: The best thing an attacker would get from scraping those links is public keys which might point towards the peer you use. But then they still don't know who runs this peer and who would be behind this link if not retrieved otherwise. There's also no differentiation between links pointing towards group chats and private chats yet.

[@UnixOath]

Great, keep working on that! The best solution in this case is to have a bridging feature like we have on Matrix.

Anyways, may I ask how do I contact you?

@@UnixOath Via mail works best probably (it should be visible on my KZbin channel/profile...) or if you are interested in GNUnet in general, you can write to the developers mailing list.

Against this defense: Activity data and "updated" info about the numbers aren't meant to be pretty public

[@Tennyson999]

i made a whatsapp account not expecting my info to be readily available from a wa_me link. should've been an opt-in/opt-out thing with the latter being default.

[@nuip7936]

who uses whatsapp? lmao?

From what I’ve seen, Apple has an ongoing class action lawsuit because they’re registering every click/tap on apple apps. Rip the “Privacy. That’s iPhone”

I remember good ol' BBM days when we would publicly add our pins to a train and spread it around. Got so many random chicks back then. Good times.

Man I HAVE to use their shitty product, because literally everyone around me does. Hell our SCHOOLS use to to communicate with parents/students. There is absolutely zero alternative.

I can agree that this is true, because I got 2 scam messages from African numbers this week. I was wondering why and there we go. I am Ukrainian so i am not surprised being targeted by scam.

Have you made a video about Discord's privacy and security? I've heard it's not very good, but I don't have any idea why at this point. I'd like to hear more points of view on that subject.

This is why I''m getting endless recruitment scammers contacting me!

[@doodoopoopoo1997]

Damn why are there so many hacks recently, or maybe there is just more attention towards cybersecurity compared to in the past few years.
