Messaging apps like whats app , Viber , Message me and audio and video calling apps like skype ,IM dont care much about your privacy. When you start a conversation with these apps,your data are stored on one of their servers and chances are you can being watched by Big Brothers. They can pretty much see all your text ,video and audio conversations you had .They might be secured by Secure shell protocols ,Which may prevent hijacking from hackers but thats least of a problem.
So , Its a pretty big problem we have got. How do we fix it?
I dont have any plans to tell you how to fix it but you can avoid being watched by using some best alternative methods available. I personally recommend to use apple's iMessage and facetime, well if you have one of the apple devices and iCloud ID. Because they are protected by end to end encryption they cannot be read even by the apple and the data are not stored on apple servers.The message you send directly reaches the end device. So there is no chance of MITM attacks , Data snooping , Government data request etc,etc.And many of us know that this very problem has angered even NSA for long time. So my personal recommendation : Use imessage and facetime. Although iMessage on iOs6 is little buggy and little cocky , i hope it will be fixed after the final release of iOs7.
