The WhatsApp texts criticised the current left-wing government and praised former dictator Francisco Franco.Spain’s armed forces chief has dismissed as “not representative” leaked chats by retired military officers allegedly talking about shooting political adversaries and praising late dictator Francisco Franco. In a statement on Friday, Air Force General Miguel Villarroya Vilalta also said the remarks by the retired military members “damage the image of the Spanish armed forces and only confuse public opinion”. The messages from a private WhatsApp group were published recently by Spain’s Infolibre news website. They were reportedly posted by members of the General Air Force Academy class that started training in 1963, when Franco still ruled the country. Some of them were among dozens of retired officers who wrote King Felipe VI last month to criticise Spain’s left-wing coalition government. The letters to the monarch included some of the language used by far-right politicians and expressed discontent with the “social-communist” government led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and its deals with separatist parties in parliament. The royal palace has not commented on the letter. It is not clear how many people were involved in the chats. Spain’s defence minister on Thursday asked prosecutors to investigate, saying…

A new WhatsApp hack could put all of your messages into the wrong hands and put all of your contacts at risk of the same fate if you fail to act now to prevent it. The new hack, which uses similar techniques to obvious phishing attempts but in a more sophisticated way, only requires the hacker to have access to an account that has you as a contact to target your account.

On Thursday, the Congress MP from Ludhiana – Punjab Ravneet Singh Bittu spoke to NDTV India in connection with the ongoing farmer protests along the Delhi border. Speaking to NDTV India, the Congress MP emphasised on how the three laws passed by the Modi government was anti-farmer in nature. Bittu continuing to explain about the farm bills to the viewers, however, ended up goofing-up in a big way after he claimed that it is not the farmers who will benefit from the laws but the tech-giants such as Google and WhatsApp. According to Bittu, the agitation against the Modi government is not just a farmer protest but was a “movement of more than 80 per cent people of the country”.
