WhatsApp has long been turned into a pitch for scammers. This, a comment on the detention of 16 Malaysians related to the international fraud plan using a messenger, as a result of the general activity of Singapore and Malaysia police, Georgy Volkov, a member of The public council of the Russian Federation of Russia. He emphasized that the use of scammers of the foundation proves the complete helplessness of the messenger to protect the user. “Huge financial losses, stolen data, viruses – and no reaction from the owner! It is clear that using WhatsApp is really voluntary. Water to communicate, where users are really a top priority, ”Volkov said. At the same time, experts emphasized that Russian websites mandatory the law of the Russian Federation for this. In return, Rocyte, an expert in the fight against extremism and blogger Alexei Trifonov recalls that WhatsApp belongs to the global giant meta. In his opinion, from a company at this level, you expect to quickly remove clear problems. However, instead, we almost saw a new type of fraud in which WhatsApp was active, but the stubborn company pretended that nothing happened, he said. As Trifonov noted, this is exactly why domestic platforms are much safer, because they simply cannot afford that behavior because they need to comply with the laws of the Russian Federation.
