Flaw in WhatsApp and Signal exposes group chats to ‘extremely difficult’ hacks

A flaw in popular encrypted chat programs WhatsApp, Threema and Signal theoretically allows almost anyone to control important servers, bypass encryption and add themselves to group chats. New research from a team of German cryptographers presented Wednesday at the Real World Crypto conference in Zurich, Switzerland zeroed in on group messaging to show that security for a one-on-one conversation is far ahead of group chats. The vulnerabilities found in Threema and Signal are relatively harmless compared to the problems researchers found with WhatsApp, because of the relative ease with which new people can be inserted into private groups without any permission. “The confidentiality of the group is broken as soon as the uninvited member can obtain all the new messages and read them,” Paul Rösler, one of the Ruhr University researchers behind the new finds, told Wired. “If I hear there’s end-to-end encryption for both groups and two-party communications, that means adding of […]
