No, the WhatsApp hack does not show that end-to-end encryption is largely pointless. A house getting broken into doesn't show it's pointless to lock doors.

A vulnerability in WhatsApp allowed attackers to inject commercial spyware, developed by NSO Group, on to phones. The spyware could be transmitted through a call, even if the call was unanswered. It is unclear how many phones were targeted. ft.com/content/4da1117e-756c…

We were able to detect a patron of a little bit more than 800 Chinese keywords (combinations) which would be the selection criteria for having the entire WeChat dialogue being stored in this database for further "analysis" by most likely a law enforcement. – at Hong Kong

#Taiwan & the #US are an enduring double act. For 40 years under the Taiwan Relations Act, the like-minded partners have worked together to take ties to new heights. Read Minister Wu’s & #AIT Director Christensen’s thoughts on the relationship in #TRA40: bit.ly/2UNohho.

Automating Racism: Police in China are using A.I. to mark/track ethnic minority Uighurs across the country. It’s the first known example of facial recognition being used intentionally by a government to racially profile and a massive ethical leap for A.I. nytimes.com/2019/04/14/techn…

It's interesting how @Huawei claims to be hacked by the US a few times. So I started looking at what is publicly available. The security team of @Huawei loves their @Splunk apps and push their LDAP network credentials to @github How do you say: "Please hack me?" in Chinese? 🤦‍♂️ – at Beijing, People's Republic of China

The company 微软 also known as @Microsoft has been a precious partner who has turned more than once a blind eye to the (technical)/(mal)practices of the engineers of SenseNets. From pirated versions of Windows servers to offering Azure Cognitive services for Face (recognition). – at Beijing, People's Republic of China
