KathWare: La mayor filtración silenciosa de la historia ⏱️ Tiempo estimado de lectura: 6 minutos y 20 segundos.ResumenDurante años nos repitieron que WhatsApp es “seguro” porque usa cifrado de extremo a extremo. Y es cierto: los mensajes están protegidos. Pero esa verdad cómoda oculta algo mucho más grande.Durante años nos repitieron que WhatsApp es “seguro” porque usa cifrado de extremo a extremo. Y es cierto: los mensajes están protegidos. Pero esa verdad cómoda oculta algo mucho más grande. En noviembre de 2025, un grupo de investigadores de la Universidad de Viena publicó un trabajo llamado “Hey there! You are using WhatsApp: Enumerating Three Billion Accounts for Security and Privacy”, en el que demostraron que, durante más de un año, fue posible recorrer prácticamente toda la base de usuarios de WhatsApp sin ser bloqueados ni encontrar límites efectivos. Con una sola computadora y una sola conexión lograron consultar miles de números por segundo y terminaron recopilando datos de 3.5 mil millones de cuentas activas. No publicaron la base de datos por razones éticas. Pero podrían haberlo hecho.No se rompió el cifrado. Se rompió la privacidadVale aclararlo desde el inicio: nadie está leyendo tus mensajes. El cifrado funciona. El problema es todo lo demás. En la práctica, por cada cuenta se podía obtener una serie de datos que, tomados de manera aislada, parecen inofensivos, pero juntos permiten reconstruir perfiles humanos completos. Entre los datos que se podían extraer se encontraban:número de teléfonofoto de perfiltexto de estadodispositivos conectados a la cuentatipo de teléfono (Android o iPhone)momentos de actividad (si el teléfono parecía activo o inactivo)límites de edad de la cuentaclaves públicas relacionadas con la protección de mensajesTomado de a uno puede parecer menor, pero combinado a escala planetaria se convierte en un mapa social. En los propios datos encontraron personas que, sin querer, dejaban pistas sobre su vida en su propia información pública: ideología política, religión, orientación sexual, consumo de drogas, afiliaciones, datos laborales y vínculos con otras redes sociales. Todo sin leer un solo mensaje.El detalle que debería haber encendido todas las alarmasAdemás del volumen de datos que era posible recopilar, el estudio detectó señales preocupantes en la parte de seguridad: millones de claves de protección reutilizadas entre cuentas distintas y casos extremos donde se observaron configuraciones defectuosas. Esto no rompe el sistema matemático del cifrado, pero sí debilita su implementación. En seguridad, la implementación es tan importante como los principios que la sostienen.El pasado que sigue atacando: la filtración de Meta de 2021Hay otra capa de esta historia que lo vuelve todavía más tangible. En 2021 se filtraron datos de más de 500 millones de usuarios de Facebook, incluyendo números de teléfono. Ese material todavía circula. Los investigadores compararon esa filtración con los datos actuales de WhatsApp y descubrieron que el 58 % de esos números siguen activos seis años después. Es decir: un número filtrado en el pasado sigue siendo una puerta abierta en el presente. La conclusión es incómoda pero clara: una filtración no se “olvida”. Se vuelve infraestructura para estafas, suplantación de identidad, llamadas automáticas, campañas de spam y ataques dirigidos. El tiempo no cura estas cosas. Las consolida.De la teoría al mundo real: cuando existía una herramienta para explotarloMientras el trabajo académico mostraba el problema a gran escala, apareció también una prueba práctica en forma de proyecto abierto en GitHub: device-activity-tracker. La idea era inquietante por lo simple: con solo conocer el número de WhatsApp de una persona era posible inferir señales del estado del teléfono (si estaba activo o inactivo, si parecía tener conexión o no, qué tipo de red usaba) y, con eso, reconstruir patrones de actividad diaria sin enviar mensajes visibles ni generar notificaciones. Con el tiempo, WhatsApp modificó el funcionamiento interno que permitía esa técnica específica y, según los propios desarrolladores del proyecto, ese método hoy ya no funciona como antes (ver discusión en GitHub: issue 11). Pero el punto no es solo que haya sido corregido. El punto es cuánto tardaron. Los investigadores notificaron problemas a WhatsApp en 2024. La corrección real tomó forma recién cuando la investigación estaba por publicarse, más de un año después. Durante todo ese tiempo, el ataque fue viable.Nueva filtración recienteEn los últimos días ha salido a la luz una filtración de datos de 17.5 millones de cuentas de Instagram. Datos de usuarios como correos electrónicos, nombres de perfiles y hasta direcciones particulares registradas en la plataforma están ya en manos de hackers. Solo basta hacer un entrecruzamiento de datos masivos para compararlo con lo obtenido ya en 2021. Pero más allá de eso, muchos usuarios ya están recibiendo notificaciones para cambiar sus contraseñas de instagram por correo electrónico que, parecen reales; pero no lo son.Lo que podés hacer hoyEn cuanto a WhatsApp: El cifrado protege tus mensajes. No protege tu identidad ni tu vida alrededor de los mensajes. La privacidad real depende de cómo usamos estas plataformas y qué tan visibles hacemos nuestros propios datos. Para reducir la exposición, lo más simple y efectivo es revisar quién puede ver tu información básica: tu foto de perfil, tu estado, tu última conexión y tu presencia en línea. Si estas cosas están visibles para cualquiera, estás regalando contexto que, en conjunto, puede ser usado para construir un retrato completo de tu vida. Lo mejor es dejarlo visible solo para tus contactos. También es útil evitar poner enlaces a otras redes o información personal en tu perfil. No porque eso sea “ilegal”, sino porque facilita el cruce de identidades: un número + otra red social = una biografía completa. Una revisión rápida de los dispositivos conectados a tu cuenta puede ayudar también: si hay sesiones que no reconocés, cerrarlas es una medida de higiene digital que no cuesta nada. En cuanto a instagram, si recibís un correo electrónico en el que te piden cambiar tu contraseña entrando a un link, no lo hagas. Cambiala directamente desde el menú de configuración dentro de la propia aplicación.ConclusiónLa seguridad moderna no se rompe con un ataque espectacular. Se desgasta con filtraciones silenciosas que, juntas, permiten mapear a la humanidad. No hace falta leer tus mensajes para saber quién sos. Basta con todo lo que los rodea. Pero además, empresas que se jactan de solicitarnos datos para confirmar que somos usuarios reales, no hacen lo suficiente para cuidar estos datos que les proporcionamos. Recientes robos de datos a ARCA (Ex AFIP) y ANSES en Argentina, nos demuestran que esto afecta también y con mayor importancia aún, a instituciones gubernamentales. Aunque el gobierno haya desmentido dicha filtración, las preguntas siguen abiertas: ¿Hoy en día con el avance de la tecnología en todos los ámbitos, qué podría hacer una Inteligencia Artificial con toda esa información recopilada, procesada y analizada? ¿No deberían las empresas concentrarse en incrementar la seguridad de nuestros datos, en lugar de lanzar IAs a usuarios no preparados para utilizarlas? ¿O dicho sea de paso, a usuarios extremadamente preparados para crear sus propios Agentes de Inteligencia Artificial, para realizar hackeos masivos de esta índole? Por mi parte, sinceramente quisiera no conocer esas respuestas. Pero soy programadora.

La mayor filtración silenciosa de la historia ⏱️ Tiempo estimado de lectura: 6 minutos y 20 segundos. Resumen Durante años nos repitieron que WhatsApp es “seguro” porque usa cifrado de extremo a extremo. Y es cierto: los mensajes están protegidos. Pero esa verdad cómoda oculta algo mucho más grande. Durante años nos repitieron que WhatsApp es “seguro” porque usa cifrado de extremo a extremo. Y es cierto: los mensajes están protegidos. Pero esa verdad cómoda oculta algo mucho más grande. En noviembre de 2025, un grupo de investigadores de la Universidad de Viena publicó un trabajo llamado “Hey there! You are using WhatsApp: Enumerating Three Billion Accounts for Security and Privacy”, en el que demostraron que, durante más de un año, fue posible recorrer prácticamente toda la base de usuarios de WhatsApp sin ser bloqueados ni encontrar límites efectivos. Con una sola computadora y una sola conexión lograron consultar miles de números por segundo y terminaron recopilando datos de 3.5 mil millones de cuentas activas. No publicaron la base de datos por razones éticas. Pero podrían haberlo hecho.No se rompió el cifrado. Se rompió la privacidad Vale aclararlo desde el inicio: nadie está leyendo tus mensajes. El cifrado funciona. El problema es todo lo demás. En la práctica, por cada cuenta se podía obtener una serie de datos que, tomados de manera aislada, parecen inofensivos, pero juntos permiten reconstruir perfiles humanos completos. Entre los datos que se podían extraer se encontraban: número de teléfono foto de perfil texto de estado dispositivos conectados a la cuenta tipo de teléfono (Android o iPhone) momentos de actividad (si el teléfono parecía activo o inactivo) límites de edad de la cuenta claves públicas relacionadas con la protección de mensajes Tomado de a uno puede parecer menor, pero combinado a escala planetaria se convierte en un mapa social. En los propios datos encontraron personas que, sin querer, dejaban pistas sobre su vida en su propia información pública: ideología política, religión, orientación sexual, consumo de drogas, afiliaciones, datos laborales y vínculos con otras redes sociales. Todo sin leer un solo mensaje. El detalle que debería haber encendido todas las alarmas Además del volumen de datos que era posible recopilar, el estudio detectó señales preocupantes en la parte de seguridad: millones de claves de protección reutilizadas entre cuentas distintas y casos extremos donde se observaron configuraciones defectuosas. Esto no rompe el sistema matemático del cifrado, pero sí debilita su implementación. En seguridad, la implementación es tan importante como los principios que la sostienen. El pasado que sigue atacando: la filtración de Meta de 2021 Hay otra capa de esta historia que lo vuelve todavía más tangible. En 2021 se filtraron datos de más de 500 millones de usuarios de Facebook, incluyendo números de teléfono. Ese material todavía circula. Los investigadores compararon esa filtración con los datos actuales de WhatsApp y descubrieron que el 58 % de esos números siguen activos seis años después. Es decir: un número filtrado en el pasado sigue siendo una puerta abierta en el presente. La conclusión es incómoda pero clara: una filtración no se “olvida”. Se vuelve infraestructura para estafas, suplantación de identidad, llamadas automáticas, campañas de spam y ataques dirigidos. El tiempo no cura estas cosas. Las consolida. De la teoría al mundo real: cuando existía una herramienta para explotarlo Mientras el trabajo académico mostraba el problema a gran escala, apareció también una prueba práctica en forma de proyecto abierto en GitHub: device-activity-tracker. La idea era inquietante por lo simple: con solo conocer el número de WhatsApp de una persona era posible inferir señales del estado del teléfono (si estaba activo o inactivo, si parecía tener conexión o no, qué tipo de red usaba) y, con eso, reconstruir patrones de actividad diaria sin enviar mensajes visibles ni generar notificaciones. Con el tiempo, WhatsApp modificó el funcionamiento interno que permitía esa técnica específica y, según los propios desarrolladores del proyecto, ese método hoy ya no funciona como antes (ver discusión en GitHub: issue 11). Pero el punto no es solo que haya sido corregido. El punto es cuánto tardaron. Los investigadores notificaron problemas a WhatsApp en 2024. La corrección real tomó forma recién cuando la investigación estaba por publicarse, más de un año después. Durante todo ese tiempo, el ataque fue viable. Nueva filtración reciente En los últimos días ha salido a la luz una filtración de datos de 17.5 millones de cuentas de Instagram. Datos de usuarios como correos electrónicos, nombres de perfiles y hasta direcciones particulares registradas en la plataforma están ya en manos de hackers. Solo basta hacer un entrecruzamiento de datos masivos para compararlo con lo obtenido ya en 2021. Pero más allá de eso, muchos usuarios ya están recibiendo notificaciones para cambiar sus contraseñas de instagram por correo electrónico que, parecen reales; pero no lo son. Lo que podés hacer hoy En cuanto a WhatsApp: El cifrado protege tus mensajes. No protege tu identidad ni tu vida alrededor de los mensajes. La privacidad real depende de cómo usamos estas plataformas y qué tan visibles hacemos nuestros propios datos. Para reducir la exposición, lo más simple y efectivo es revisar quién puede ver tu información básica: tu foto de perfil, tu estado, tu última conexión y tu presencia en línea. Si estas cosas están visibles para cualquiera, estás regalando contexto que, en conjunto, puede ser usado para construir un retrato completo de tu vida. Lo mejor es dejarlo visible solo para tus contactos. También es útil evitar poner enlaces a otras redes o información personal en tu perfil. No porque eso sea “ilegal”, sino porque facilita el cruce de identidades: un número + otra red social = una biografía completa. Una revisión rápida de los dispositivos conectados a tu cuenta puede ayudar también: si hay sesiones que no reconocés, cerrarlas es una medida de higiene digital que no cuesta nada. En cuanto a instagram, si recibís un correo electrónico en el que te piden cambiar tu contraseña entrando a un link, no lo hagas. Cambiala directamente desde el menú de configuración dentro de la propia aplicación. Conclusión La seguridad moderna no se rompe con un ataque espectacular. Se desgasta con filtraciones silenciosas que, juntas, permiten mapear a la humanidad. No hace falta leer tus mensajes para saber quién sos. Basta con todo lo que los rodea. Pero además, empresas que se jactan de solicitarnos datos para confirmar que somos usuarios reales, no hacen lo suficiente para cuidar estos datos que les proporcionamos. Recientes robos de datos a ARCA (Ex AFIP) y ANSES en Argentina, nos demuestran que esto afecta también y con mayor importancia aún, a instituciones gubernamentales. Aunque el gobierno haya desmentido dicha filtración, las preguntas siguen abiertas: ¿Hoy en día con el avance de la tecnología en todos los ámbitos, qué podría hacer una Inteligencia Artificial con toda esa información recopilada, procesada y analizada? ¿No deberían las empresas concentrarse en incrementar la seguridad de nuestros datos, en lugar de lanzar IAs a usuarios no preparados para utilizarlas? ¿O dicho sea de paso, a usuarios extremadamente preparados para crear sus propios Agentes de Inteligencia Artificial, para realizar hackeos masivos de esta índole? Por mi parte, sinceramente quisiera no conocer esas respuestas. Pero soy programadora. Y lamentablemente, las conozco. #Ciberseguridad #DerechosDigitales #Facebook #FiltracionesDeDatos #Instagram #InteligenciaArtificial #Meta #PrivacidadDigital #ProtecciónDeDatosPersonales #SeguridadInformática #TecnologíaYSociedad #WhatsApp

juergen_hubert: A lot of people are resistant to any kind of business uses for the #Fediverse , but consider this:- While most of us here are rightfully scornful of #Capitalism , the notion of a "market economy" is not going to go away. There are innumerable small to midsized businesses in the world who _aren't_ like the Capitalists we know and loathe - they haven't established any monopolies, they haven't managed regulatory capture, and they are oppressed by Big Tech just as much as ordinary people are.- For many such businesses, maybe even the majority, a #Facebook Business Page is more important than a website, and thus many such small businesses _only_ have a Facebook Business Page, since it is far easier to set up than hosting your own website on your own domain, it is easier for your customers to find you there (because #GoogleSucks ), and it is easier for you to interact with your customers as well.I think it would be very worthwhile if the Fediverse would develop an alternative to Facebook Business Pages for such businesses.A good example for an industry that could benefit from such "Fediverse Business Pages" would be the #TTRPG industry. While some gamers might whine that "RPG books cost too much these days!", the reality is that this is an industry that has razor-thin margins, and only the very biggest TTRPG companies have employees that number more than in the single digits. Every business decision they have to make must involve the question:"Is this worth the effort?"Well, if there _was_ a Fediverse Business Page system that was either easy to self-host, or easy to join on larger instances, and which had a similar design to Facebook Business Pages, then there wouldn't be much effort involved in adding the same material to the former if they already maintained the latter. And as #Meta declines, the Fediverse could gradually take its place.What would such a Fediverse Business Page require? It would need an ActivityPub-enabled feed, of course. It would need a configurable link list that would point towards their product pages or sales platforms, as well as space for all the usual business information. And it would require a robust scheduling system with a calendar view (I used the one provided by Meta for a time, and I think it is possible to do better).Did I miss any important features?Oh, and the same system would work well for non-business organizations as well - whether clubs, NGOs, or even political parties!
