WhatsApp denies encrypted messages can be intercepted
"The Guardian posted a story this morning claiming that an intentional design decision in WhatsApp that prevents people from losing millions of messages is a `backdoor` allowing governments to force WhatsApp to decrypt message streams. This claim is false," said a company spokesperson in a statement sent to TechCrunch.
WhatsApp said that it does not give governments a "backdoor" into its systems and would fight any government request to create a backdoor. Photo: Pixabay
