Ukuphepha kwe-WhatsApp kuphinde kwahlolwa ngemuva kocwaningo lwezemfundo oluthole izinombolo zocingo eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3.500 ezixhunywe kuma-akhawunti asebenzayo kule pulatifomu. Okutholakele, okukhiqizwe amaqembu avela e-University of Vienna, TU Wien, kanye ne-SBA Research, kuvuselele impikiswano mayelana nobumfihlo ezinhlelweni zokusebenza zemiyalezo eYurophu naseSpain.
Njengoba i-Wired ibike ngokusekelwe ezintweni ezishicilelwe abacwaningi, ithimba lisebenzise inqubo entsha yokuqinisekisa i-akhawunti kanye nohlelo lokuthola oxhumana nabo ukuhlola, ngezinga, ukuthi yiziphi izinombolo ezikhona kusevisi nokukhipha imethadatha yephrofayela abasebenzisi abayibeke emphakathini. Nakuba imiyalezo yahlala ifihliwe kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni , izinga lokuqoqwa kwedatha liphakamise ukukhathazeka mayelana nokusetshenziswa okunonya okungenzeka.
Kwenzekeni futhi igebe lasetshenziswa kanjani
Inkinga enkulu yayikumsebenzi wokuthola oxhumana nabo: besebenzisa ukuzenzekela, abacwaningi bathumela izinombolo ngokulandelana futhi babheka impendulo yensizakalo ukuze bathole ukuthi i-akhawunti ihlotshaniswa nabo yini. Ingqalasizinda ye-WhatsApp ayizange ibeke imingcele ephumelelayo, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ukufinyelela amazinga emibuzo efinyelela ku-7.000 ngomzuzwana ngeseshini kanye nezigidi ezicishe zibe yi-100 ngehora, kwakha uhlu olufinyeleleka emhlabeni jikelele (amazwe angu-245) ngamahora angu-48 kuphela.
Ngaphezu kokuqinisekisa ukuthi kukhona izinombolo zocingo, uhlelo luvumele ukubuyiswa kwedatha ebonakalayo ngokusekelwe kuzilungiselelo zomsebenzisi ngamunye: isithombe sephrofayela, umbhalo othi "Ulwazi", izitembu zesikhathi, futhi, kwezinye izimo, okhiye bokubethela komphakathi kanye nolwazi lwebhizinisi . Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi amaphrofayili angu-57% ayenesithombe esifinyelelekayo kanti angu-29% abonisa umbhalo womphakathi, okwathi kwezinye izimakethe kwavumela ngisho nokuhlanganiswa kwezithombe ezingamashumi ezigidi ezihlobene nefoni eyodwa.
Lolu cwaningo, olwenziwe yi-University of Vienna, i-Vienna University of Technology, kanye ne-SBA Research, lubhalwe ku-GitHub futhi lwabikwa yi-Wired. Ababhali babikezela ukuthi ukuqoqwa kwedatha ye-WhatsApp ngabe kwaqaliswa entwasahlobo ka-2025 futhi bagcizelela ukuthi, ukube bekungenziwanga ngaphansi kwezimiso zokuziphatha , ngabe kwaphumela kwelinye lamaqoqo amakhulu kakhulu edatha yomuntu siqu emlandweni we-inthanethi.
Leli cala liqokomisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinombolo zocingo njengezihlonzi ezihlukile. Lezi zinombolo kulula ukuzibala ngezinga elikhulu, zenza kube lula iziqondisi ezinkulu futhi zingase zidalule abantu emazweni lapho uhlelo lokusebenza luvinjelwe khona. Ngaphakathi kohlaka lwaseYurophu, isimiso sokunciphisa idatha se-GDPR kanye nezincomo ze-ENISA zikhuthaza ukunciphisa ukuvezwa komphakathi kwe-metadata kanye nokuqinisa izilawuli ngokumelene nokuklwebheka.
Impendulo ye-Meta nezingozi kubasebenzisi
Ngemva kwesaziso, i-WhatsApp yasebenzisa izindlela zokulwa nalokhu, okuhlanganisa ukukhawulelwa kwamanani kanye nokunciphisa ukufinyelela kwedatha ngokuzenzakalelayo , kanye nokulungiswa kwamakhasimende, ikakhulukazi ku-Android. Le nkampani, ephethwe yi-Meta, ibeke lesi sigameko njengokuqoqwa kwedatha yomphakathi futhi yathi ayizange ithole noma yiziphi izimpawu zokuxhashazwa okunonya ngaphandle kocwaningo. Lo mbiko wamukelwa ohlelweni lwayo lokuthola amaphutha.
Kodwa-ke, ukuba "nohlu" lwaleso silinganiso kwenza kube lula imikhankaso yogaxekile, ubugebengu bokweba imininingwane ebucayi, kanye nezingcingo ezizenzakalelayo , kanye nemizamo yokweba ubunikazi kanye nemizamo yokushintshana nge-SIM. Ukuhlaziywa kuphinde kwavumela ukuqagela mayelana nemininingwane yobuchwepheshe (i-Android/iOS, ubudala be-akhawunti, namadivayisi axhunyiwe) futhi kwatholakala ukusetshenziswa kabusha kwephasiwedi kwezinye izimo, into ochwepheshe abayihlanganisa nokusetshenziswa kwamakhasimende angekho emthethweni , okuvula indlela eyengeziwe yobungozi.
ESpain nase-EU, lesi sigameko sivule kabusha ingxoxo mayelana nemikhuba emihle kanye nemithwalo yemfanelo. Izinkampani kanye nohulumeni bomphakathi kufanele babuyekeze izinqubo zabo zokuxhumana ze-WhatsApp futhi baqinise izinqubomgomo zokuvikela idatha, kuyilapho abasebenzisi benganciphisa ukuvezwa kwabo emphakathini. Lapha, indima ye-Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) kanye neziqondiso zaseYurophu ziyisihluthulelo sokwenza izilungiselelo ezizenzakalelayo eziphephile zibe zijwayelekile.
Kulabo abasebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza nsuku zonke, kungumqondo omuhle ukulungisa ukubonakala kwephrofayela yakho. Lezi zinyathelo zithatha isikhathi esingaphansi komzuzu futhi zinciphisa kakhulu lokho umuntu angakubona.
- Vula i-WhatsApp bese uya kokuthi Izilungiselelo > Ubumfihlo.
- Esithombeni Sephrofayili kanye Nolwazi, khetha Engixhumana nabo (noma Akekho, uma ukhetha ubumfihlo obukhulu).
- Esimeni nokuthi Ugcine Ukubonwa & Ku-inthanethi, khawulela ukubonakala koxhumana nabo.
- Khawulela ukuthi ubani ongakwengeza emaqenjini futhi ugcine uhlelo lokusebenza lunolwazi lwakamuva.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, qaphela izimpawu zokuxhashazwa (imiyalezo engalindelekile enolwazi lomuntu siqu, izixhumanisi eziphuthumayo, okunamathiselwe okusolisayo) futhi ukhumbule ukuvimba nokubika ama-akhawunti angaba yingozi ngqo kusuka kuhlelo lokusebenza . Uma isici segama lomsebenzisi sitholakala ku-akhawunti yakho, ukusivumela kunezela ungqimba olwengeziwe lokuphepha ngokungavezi inombolo yakho yocingo ngqo.
Uphenyo aluzange lufinyelele okuqukethwe okubethelwe, kodwa lwembule ukuthi iphutha ekulawulweni kwesicelo livumele ukudalwa kohlu lwezinombolo zomhlaba wonke kanye namaphrofayili avulekile. Njengoba ukulungiswa sekuvele kusetshenziswe yi-WhatsApp, ukuvikelwa okusebenzayo kuncike kakhulu kuzilungiselelo zakho zobumfihlo kanye nokuqapha imizamo yokukhwabanisa kanye nokuqoqwa kwedatha enkulu.
