The crazy thing about that #WhatsApp leak is not merely the sheer scale of the issue...

...it's the fact that a security researcher named Loran Kloeze has found out and reported this #security flaw to #Facebook _eight years ago_ (2018) and Facebook has done... nothing!

Also, the only news site that I could find talking about Loran Kloeze is 9to5mac - kudos to them! 馃帺
