It turns out that Facebook knew about this problem as far back as November 2019, but didn't see it as a problem.

    Time goes by, but this messenger remains unsafe. Seems like the situation only gets worse https://utopia.fans/blog/is-whatsapp-safe-and-secure/ But it remains one of the most popular messengers worldwide, no matter there are more secure alternatives to it. People have to learn that online privacy matters.
