Cyber experts say Brits should stop texting - as FBI issues warning
Briefly

The FBI advises against SMS exchanges between iPhones and Androids due to vulnerabilities that may be exploited by hackers, recommending end-to-end encrypted messaging apps instead.
Security advisor Jake Moore emphasized that SMS messages can be intercepted using specialized tools. Since they travel over an unsecured network, it's vital to switch to encrypted messaging for privacy.
Dr. Luca Arnaboldi pointed out that while intercepting SMS is difficult and requires specialized equipment, encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal provide a higher level of security.
He stated that encrypted platforms, unlike SMS, secure all messages regardless of the phone type, ensuring better protection even in cases of potential interception.
