How Digital Forensics Experts Read Your Encrypted WhatsApp Messages

With physical access to the cell phone, forensic tools can extract the WhatsApp database directly and then decrypt the database. This means the communications are viewable to the digital forensics examiner just like they would be to the WhatsApp user

‘Harvest now, decrypt later’: Why hackers are waiting for quantum computing

With #quantumcomputing, hackers can access anything encrypted — data storage systems are no longer their primary focus. They can eavesdrop on the connection between a web browser and a server, read cross-program communication or intercept information in transit

In an era where digital privacy is of paramount importance, the #EuropeanUnion stands out as a region with a strong commitment to protecting citizens’ data

Not all EU countries are created equal in terms of privacy laws

The question of which country offers the safest environment in the EU is complex, influenced by factors including key disclosure laws, mandatory #decryption requirements, & attitudes toward personal #data protection.
