•Experts urge Brits to STOP sending SMS text messages
77% Informative
Experts warn that the 'outdated' technology puts your messages at risk of being intercepted by cybercriminals.
Instead, the public should be using 'encrypted' apps like WhatsApp , which turn messages into secret code that can only be deciphered by the recipient.
An SMS message is sent in plain text, meaning there is no encryption.
Experts say people don't need to stop using SMS entirely, but 'it’s a good idea to switch to more secure messaging apps where possible'.
Sachin Bhatt , technical director at CyXcel , said encrypted platforms like WhatsApp are safer for communication, but 'they are not fully safe' He pointed to mobile phone 'spyware' dodgy software that steals information from a device including Pegasus created by Israeli firm NSO Group .
