Israel is claiming that they didn’t hack WhatsApp.

Reuters:

The Israeli government on Friday denied any involvement in an alleged cyber- hack by Israeli surveillance firm NSO Group.

Distancing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government from the alleged attempts to send malware to the mobile devices of a number of Whatsapp users, Israeli security cabinet minister Zeev Elkin said that if anyone had done anything “forbidden” they could expect to find themselves in court.

“NSO is a private player using capabilities that Israelis have, thousands of people are in the cyber field, but there is no Israeli government involvement here, everyone understands that, this is not about the state of Israel,” Elkin told 102.FM Tel Aviv Radio.

On Tuesday, WhatsApp sued NSO Group accusing it of helping government spies break into the phones of roughly 1,400 users across four continents in a hacking spree whose targets included diplomats, political dissidents, journalists and senior government officials.

Sure Shlomo, we believe you. Considering that the Israeli government has a historical track record of lying about pretty much everything, we have absolutely no reason to doubt this statement. lol

Whatever the case, you shouldn’t be using WhatsApp any way. Who the fuck knows where your conversations go if you use this application.
