The U.S. House chief administrative officer has banned WhatsApp from congressional staffers’ government devices citing data vulnerability concerns. The cybersecurity office deemed the messaging app “high-risk” due to lack of transparency in data protection, absence of stored data encryption, and potential security risks, according to an email obtained by Axios.
I tried to read the article on this. Shit source.
I bet WhatsApp was already banned. I find it hard to believe everything in congress isn’t centrally managed by policy and locked down via MDM.
This could be a memo from their security team going “No, you still can’t have Whatsapp”
