⚡️WhatsApp Head of Security Fired After Raising Privacy Concerns
The former Head of Security for WhatsApp, Attaullah Baig, has filed a retaliation lawsuit against Meta for firing him after he tried to improve security at WhatsApp.
Baig discovered through red-teaming that 1,500 engineers at Meta had production access to WhatsApp user data, including address books and contact information of friends. Even as Head of Security, he was blocked from logging access to data, creating an inventory of what was stored, or mapping the infrastructure.
When he warned leadership that WhatsApp may be in violation of its FTC order, he was met with retaliation until he was forced out. Inside WhatsApp, leadership downplayed issues and dismissed privacy concerns.
Once again, we see that user growth and profits came first—while protecting people’s privacy never seemed to matter.
