The FBI has issued a warning to Americans about sending regular text messages between Androids and iPhones. The agency revealed that exchanges between the two brands leave messages vulnerable to hackers. Instead, users are advised to use secure, encrypted messaging and phone calls on apps like WhatsApp to prevent third parties from accessing conversations . The warning comes as Chinese hackers have reportedly hacked several US networks that are 'ongoing and likely larger in scale than previously understood.'

 

I think that the device manufacturers should provide secure communication methods by default rather than require the users to supply them.
