This site goes over in detail what happened to the Whatsapp application recently where their

encryption apps were even broken into.  It just goes to show that anything is potentially vulnerable if

    great post. I have friends who use this app or something of this sort sue to encrytion. More people do not use the standard SMS messaging on their phone due to no encryption. We see lots of encrypted things get uncrypted before and we shouldnt be surprised by it happening here.
