In this video, we unpack a new lawsuit by a former WhatsApp security manager against Meta. The suit alleges systemic security and privacy failures inside WhatsApp, including the absence of a security operations centre (SOC), no reliable engineer access logging, and a claim that ~100,000 accounts were being taken over daily. It also references a red-team exercise raising concerns about WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption, plus an ignored privacy/compliance proposal tied to a 2020 order.
Meta has pushed back on these allegations. We review the claims, the timeline (2021–April this year), and the core question for users: how private are your WhatsApp messages?
