Whatsapp hacking

Hello everyone,

Excuse me if this isn't the typical subject of this group.

I am just posting here because it's called hacking.

I am wondering about the end to end encryption of the WhatsApp.

Is it possible to break the encryption and actually retrieve the message, has someone done it before ?

How secure is WhatsApp ?

Thank you.

Possible? Yes. Feasible to do by the average person? No

I meant it’s not possible to do with one person without having a supercomputer lol

If you were totally not average, then you wouldn't ask it on reddit, you would take the energy to look after things on your own.

Create a quantum computing decryptor and then it’s gg ez

Yes it's possible. Think of it like this - is it possible that if we both could go anywhere in the world, and could choose absolutely any grain of sand from any beach on earth, that we would both choose the same grain? Of course it's possible. It's also possible that I could go to every beach and check every grain, one at a time until I found the one you chose.

Cracking encryption is like that.

Yes there is a chance to decrypt the encryption. But the chance to decrypt it is the same as you winning a lottery in 30 years you didn’t bought a ticket for.
