WhatsApp dreigt met stappen tegen WhatsAPI

Alieke van Sommeren26 september, 2012• min. leestijd

Kort geleden bleek dat WhatsApp wederom te kampen heeft met veiligheidsissues. Chatsessies bleken eenvoudig af te luisteren te zijn en accounts kunnen worden gekaapt. Hierbij is gebruik gemaakt van WhatsAPI.

WhatsApp heeft nu de ontwikkelaars van WhatsAPI gedreigd met juridische stappen als ze niet overgaan tot het stoppen met het project. Inmiddels is in overleg tussen WhatsApp en de ontwikkelaars van WhatsAPI het project offline gehaald. WhatsApp communiceert zelf echter niet over de aangetoonde veiligheidslekken en er is dan ook nog geen informatie richting de gebruikers verstuurd met tekst en uitleg en een eventuele termijn waarbinnen de lekken worden gedicht.
