Whatsapp

The spirit of the foundation remains rooted in the same simplicity it began with: members still share their work through WhatsApp statuses, inspiring more to join. (Photo | Express) Updated on :  14 Sep 2025, 4:20 am HYDERABAD: It started not with a grand plan, but with a single WhatsApp status. Police constable Jabbu Venkatesh, moved by the hunger he saw during the pandemic, typed out a simple offer to help. He knew hunger was more than an empty stomach — it was an enemy that paralysed hope. What he could not have known was that tapping ‘send’ would ignite a chain of compassion, transforming a small gesture into a foundation that has since fed thousands. Venkatesh, who hails from a humble background in Nagarkurnool district and is the first in his family to receive formal education, became a police constable in 2018 through the state government’s recruitment drive. On duty during the Covid-19-induced lockdown, he saw the daily struggles of the poor up close. Speaking to TNIE, he recalls one turning point: “On April 28, 2020, I was on duty near Limra Hotel in Rajendranagar when a mason’s family, who had lost their livelihood, approached me asking where they

The fight between GovChat vs WhatsApp (Meta) will be discussed in Cape Town during the book launch of 'The Silicon Empire vs Social Impact: The David & Goliath Battle by Eldrid Jordaan on September 15.  In the early months of 2020, when the world stopped moving, South Africa faced a challenge that was as immediate as it was overwhelming: how to get help, quickly and directly, to the people who needed it most. Social grants, the lifeline for millions, were suddenly inaccessible in the usual way. The problem wasn’t money or even policy. The problem was logistics. How do you keep people safe and at the same time put food on their tables? Enter Eldrid Jordaan. Jordaan wasn’t a politician, nor was he a Silicon Valley wunderkind. He was a connector, someone who believed technology could be made humble enough to serve ordinary people. His platform, "GovChat", was an elegant solution to a complex problem: take an interface that almost everyone in South Africa already used, WhatsApp and turn it into a channel for government services. No new app. No steep learning curve. Just a familiar green screen on a phone. For a while, it worked brilliantly. Citizens registered. Government

Ex-WhatsApp security chief Attaullah Baig is suing Meta and alleging the company ignored flaws that put billions at risk. Meta denies the claims, noting the employee’s dismissal for poor performance. Image: Dimitri Karastelev/Unsplash A former WhatsApp executive has filed a lawsuit against Meta, alleging the company ignored serious security flaws that put billions of users at risk. The case, lodged in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, was brought by Attaullah Baig, who served as WhatsApp’s head of security from 2021 until earlier this year. Baig alleges that thousands of Meta and WhatsApp employees could access sensitive user data — including profile pictures, contact lists, and location details — without proper oversight. He also claims the company turned a blind eye to large-scale account hacking, which he says reached more than 100,000 accounts a day. According to the complaint, Baig repeatedly warned senior leaders, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, about the risks. Instead of addressing his concerns, the company allegedly retaliated by issuing negative performance reviews and ultimately fired him in February. Baig argues that the company’s actions violated a 2019 privacy settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that required Meta to strengthen user protections

Qatar tribune Agencies A former top security executive at WhatsApp filed a federal lawsuit Monday alleging that parent company Meta systematically violated cybersecurity regulations and retaliated against him for reporting the failures. Attaullah Baig, who served as head of security for WhatsApp from 2021 to 2025, claims that approximately 1,500 engineers had unrestricted access to user data without proper oversight, potentially violating a 2020 US government order that imposed a $5 billion penalty on the company. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco, alleges that Meta failed to implement basic cybersecurity measures, including adequate data handling and breach detection capabilities. According to the 115-page complaint, Baig discovered through internal security testing that WhatsApp engineers could “move or steal user data” — including contact information, IP addresses, and profile photos — “without detection or audit trail.” The filing claims Baig repeatedly raised concerns with senior executives, including WhatsApp head Will Cathcart and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Baig alleges he faced escalating retaliation after his initial reports in 2021, including negative performance reviews, verbal warnings and ultimately termination in February 2025 for alleged “poor performance.” The lawsuit also claims Meta blocked implementation of security features intended to address account takeovers

Ex-WhatsApp Security Chief Sues Meta, Alleges Massive User Data Risks Photo: LinkedIn India-West News Desk SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A former top cybersecurity executive at WhatsApp has filed a lawsuit against Meta, the parent company of the messaging app, alleging that the tech giant ignored critical security flaws and put billions of users at risk. Attaullah Baig, who led WhatsApp’s security team from 2021 to 2025, claims the company systematically violated cybersecurity regulations and retaliated against him after he raised concerns about unsafe practices. According to Baig, roughly 1,500 engineers had unrestricted access to user data without proper oversight, potentially violating a 2020 U.S. government order that had imposed a $5 billion penalty on Meta. Baig also alleges that Meta failed to address the hacking and takeover of more than 100,000 accounts daily, choosing to prioritize user growth over security. In a 115-page complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Baig details how WhatsApp engineers could “move or steal user data,” including contact information, IP addresses, and profile photos, without detection or audit trails. An alumnus of India’s National Institute of Technology, Warangal, he has spent decades in cybersecurity. A LinkedIn profile says he also has
