WhatsApp's private chat leaked on Google, anyone can read your personal talks

Facebook-owned WhatsApp (WhatsApp) is surrounded by controversies over its new terms of service that meanwhile a dispute has been linked with WhatsApp. WhatsApp group messages have been leaked on Google. In this way anyone can read your chat by searching WhatsApp group on Google and also join your private group. Due to this mistake of WhatsApp, all the numbers of people's WhatsApp group were also made public.

Data was leaked on Google even in 2019. This is not the first chance when WhatsApp chat is leaked on Google. Earlier in 2019, many similar groups and chats were found in Google search, although WhatsApp has now fixed this bug. Cyber security researcher Rajasekhar Rajharia had informed about this bug of WhatsApp. According to the report, about 1,500 WhatsApp groups invite links were coming in Google results. Many of these groups were porn and many were from a particular community. Some groups belonged to Bangla and Marathi.

What did WhatsApp say on this leak?

On the report of data leak, WhatsApp said in one of its statement that since March 2020, WhatsApp has implemented noindex tags for all link pages since which these pages are out of Google's indexing. The company has asked Google not to index these chats. 

 

Even though WhatsApp keeps giving clarification on every time leak, but somewhere WhatsApp privacy is slowly getting weaker, due to which people are looking for other options like telegram and signal. Tell me that after WhatsApp's new condition of service, signal has come in the list of top free apps on Apple App Store.
