Only ‘braindead’ believe WhatsApp is secure – Durov
The Telegram founder has mocked those who think Meta can’t read your messages
The Russian tech entrepreneur behind the Telegram messenger app, Pavel Durov, has claimed there is no doubt WhatsApp lacks any meaningful privacy, after its parent company was hit with a new lawsuit.
In a major class-action lawsuit filed against Meta Platforms, Inc. in a US district court last week, an international group of plaintiffs from countries including Australia, Brazil and India has accused the company of making false claims about the privacy of its WhatsApp service.
“You’d have to be braindead to believe WhatsApp is secure in 2026,” Durov posted on X on Monday, mocking suggestions that Meta cannot read users’ messages. “When we analyzed how WhatsApp implemented its ‘encryption’, we found multiple attack vectors.”
The lawsuit challenges the cornerstone of WhatsApp’s privacy promise: its default end-to-end encryption, which uses the Signal protocol. The plaintiffs allege that, contrary to its in-app claim that “only people in this chat can read, listen to, or share” messages, Meta and WhatsApp “store, analyze, and can access virtually all of WhatsApp users’ purportedly ‘private’ communications.” The complaint cites unspecified whistleblowers as the source of this information.
A Meta spokesperson, Andy Stone, categorically denied the allegations. “Any claim that people’s WhatsApp messages are not encrypted is categorically false and absurd,” Stone said in a statement, calling the lawsuit “a frivolous work of fiction.”
Durov has long criticized WhatsApp as a “tool of surveillance,” recommending users avoid it entirely, especially following the app’s 2014 takeover by Meta (then Facebook). In 2022, he warned that WhatsApp vulnerabilities discovered “regularly” were not accidents but likely “backdoors.”
For his part, Durov has faced major legal challenges in the EU, after French authorities claimed that Telegram’s moderation policies had allowed criminal activity to flourish. In September 2024, he announced an update to Telegram’s Privacy Policy, stating that IP addresses and phone numbers of users who violate the platform’s rules “can be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests.”

Trump slaps Asian trade partner with 25% tariff
President Donald Trump announced a sudden increase in tariffs on key South Korean imports, including automobiles, lumber and pharmaceuticals, raising duties from 15% to 25%.
The decision, communicated via his Truth Social platform on Monday, directly accuses the South Korean legislature of failing to ratify a “historic” trade and investment agreement that was finalized with President Lee Jae Myung in October 2025.
Trump stated that while the US had swiftly reduced its tariffs as part of the deal, Seoul had not lived up to its commitment, necessitating the punitive measure.
“President Lee and I reached a Great Deal for both Countries… Why hasn’t the Korean Legislature approved it?” Trump wrote.
South Korea’s presidential office said it has yet to receive any official notification from Washington and announced that the trade minister would travel to the United States for urgent discussions.
The crisis centers on a deal first announced in July 2025, which offered to lower US tariffs from 25% to 15% in exchange for substantial South Korean concessions, including a pledge to invest $350 billion in the United States. However, the deal has been stalled in South Korea’s National Assembly, where it faces significant political and economic scrutiny.
President Lee Jae Myung has publicly warned that the investment demand, particularly if fulfilled in cash, could trigger a severe liquidity crisis. He has drawn parallels to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, during which South Korea nearly exhausted its foreign currency reserves and required a major International Monetary Fund bailout.
