Snooping around to find out hidden mysteries of someone else’s life because one can’t hold his/her curiosity has always been happening in the town. But something new is being witnessed in this column these days. How many of us can survive without a mobile phone? Almost none! That is because this device brings everything to just a click away. Now-a-days, A person’s mobile phone has more confidential data than one’s bank account! Your images, videos, health reports, passwords, texts, call records and what not. A person almost has his deepest and darkest secrets stored in that electronic rectangular box. And this private information is what is at stake.

One of the many mobile apps which almost almost every phone has is the WhatsApp. In a short period of time, this particular app has gained humongous success and activity. The messages being encrypted was one of the best features of the app. Now, this special feature has gone for a toss! Courtesy: WhatsApp Snooping. As if email hacking wasn’t a pain anymore, WhatsApp messages just joined the list. In the recent times, the rate of WhatsApp snooping has reached the skies. Even after the app being developed with a strong programming base, a set of people have managed to invade into people’s privacy by running their fingers over the keyboard.

Though the problem got sorted to a greater extent, there was a period of time when data privacy wasn’t assured. Messages between two parties are meant to be only between the two screens. Uncountable number of messages are shared between two people, round the globe through WhatsApp. Hence, there’s no wonder when WhatsApp snooping passed chills down everyone’s spine!

However, the situation has been handled effectively getting back everyone’s breath. Cyber crime is a punishable offence and so is WhatsApp snooping. Invading someone’s privacy, against their will is not acceptable. It is considered to be a grievous offence. Therefore, let’s respect one’s privacy and set ourselves a LOC. Spread peace!
