Tierney - stock.adobe.com Meta has disclosed and patched a potentially dangerous spoofing flaw in WhatsApp for Windows that could have caused big problems for unwitting users By Alex Scroxton, Security Editor Published: 08 Apr 2025 16:41 Facebook parent Meta has warned of a significant vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows version of its popular WhatsApp messaging platform that could leave users at risk or falling victim to a variety of cyber attacks, up to and including ransomware incidents. In an online advisory, Meta said that the spoofing issue – which exists in versions prior to 2.2450.6 and is being tracked as CVE-2025-30401 – causes WhatsApp to display attachments sent via the messaging platform according to their Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type but to select the file opening handler based on the true filename extension of said attachment. In this instance, should a malicious actor deliberately alter the MIME type, they could cause the recipient to inadvertently execute arbitrary code rather than view the attachment when they manually open it inside WhatsApp. In practice, this means that a victim might see an attachment appearing to be an innocent .jpeg file and be convinced to open it, only to have it turn

Low Fidelity A swerve into the post-hippie territory of spiritual jazz, ambient music and free improv is absolutely on brand for André 3000 André 3000 has always been one of rap’s more eccentric geniuses. Over the decade or so (1994-2006) he ruled the charts as one half of legendary Atlanta rap duo Outkast, the rapper excelled at landing artistic sucker-punches from left-field. He treated his voice like playdough, moulding it into new pitches and tempos on the fly. He crafted rhymes that are almost architectural, complete with trap-door entendres and subterranean subtext. With every album, he adopted new personas and outfits, each more outrageous than the last. He was rap’s answer to Sun Ra, a visionary who seemed to come from outer space with a radical, perspective-shifting take on black culture and musicality. So I guess it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that André’s first solo release in 17 years, New Blue Sun, is a new-age instrumental album, 87 minutes of minimalist flute melodies and new age spiritual ambience, with nary a human voice on offer.When the news first dropped, it sounded like a joke: yet another piece of masterful trolling by an artist who revels in

WhatsApp just added a new security feature called Secret Code. An evolution of the Chat Lock feature that lets you password-protect sensitive WhatsApp Chats, Secret Code will hide your locked chats from view in a secret folder. This one becomes available only when you enter your Secret Code. That’s a great privacy feature to have on messaging apps, especially on end-to-end encrypted apps like WhatsApp.That’s not the feature I want Apple to steal for the iPhone’s iMessage app. WhatsApp also has another layer of security that lets you lock the entire app. You can protect it with Face ID (or the phone’s PIN), which is an extra layer of security that iMessage doesn’t have. I wouldn’t mind if iMessage allowed me to lock down the entire app behind Face ID. You can lock WhatsApp with Face IDThe iPhone is encrypted the minute you set a password/PIN and set up Face ID or Touch ID. But if someone uses your device, or thieves steal it along with your password, all the data on it is fair game. Some of the most sensitive apps on the iPhone are password-protected. Think mobile banking apps and any other apps that deal in finance. Unlike
