U.S. Urges Using These Apps for Secure Messaging

GOOD WORD ANYWAY, THIS GUY HITTER EXPLAIN IN TODAY'S RICHAUN TACK. GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING TO YOU GUYS EARLIER YOU TALK ABOUT THIS WHOLE LIKE CYBERSECURITY ISSUE WITH MESSAGING IN CHINA AND SPYING.

AND NOW US INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS ARE URGING AMERICANS TO USE ENCRYPTED MESSAGING APPS TO PROTECT THEIR COMMUNICATIONS FROM POTENTIAL FOREIGN SPYING, ESPECIALLY DUE TO THOSE RECENT HACKING CAMPAIGNS LINKED TO CHINA. SO HOW CAN YOU MAKE SURE YOUR MESSAGES ARE SECURE. WHEN IT COMES TO TEXTING I MESSAGE IS FULLY ENCRYPTED END TO END IF YOU'RE MESSAGE BUBBLE IS BLUE IS SAFE, BUT IF IT'S GREEN ENCRYPTION IS NOT GUARANTEED.

NOW MANY ANDROID PHONES RECENTLY GOT THAT UPGRADE TO RCS MESSAGING WHICH OFFERS ENCRYPTION BUT ONLY FOR ANDROID TO ANDROID MESSAGES IF YOU'RE SENDING ANDROID TO IPHONE TEXT AND GROUP CHATS THOSE ARE NOT ENCRYPTED SO WHAT'S YOUR OTHER OPTION SWITCH TO A THIRD-PARTY APP COMPLETELY BOTH WHATSAPP AND SIGNAL ARE FULLY ENCRYPTED BY DEFAULT IF USING TELEGRAM OR FACEBOOK MESSENGER MAKE SURE TO ENABLE THE SECRET CHAT OPTION FOR ENCRYPTION SERIOUS QUESTION. DOESN'T MATTER HOW BRIGHT THE SPOTLIGHT IS YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING LIKE OF CHINA WAS SPYING ON MY PHONE I BE LIKE '04 YOU'RE GOING TO BE REALLY SUPER BOARD. I MEAN IS IT DEPENDING ON WHAT LINE OF WORK MAYBE YOU'RE IN OR AROUND WHAT I MEAN AGAIN WITH WELL I KNOW THIS IS THIS IS WHERE IT GETS REALLY INTERESTING THOSE TEXT MESSAGES YOU GET LIKE THOSE.

>> ONE YEAH JUST ANNOYING YEAH, I MEAN THAT COULD BE HACKED I MEAN THERE'S JUST SO MANY THINGS IT, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALSO JUST A PERSONAL PRIVACY THING, CERTAIN WAY YEAH IF ANYONE JUST HAS YOUR MESSAGES. THERE'S INFORMATION THERE ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE WHERE YOU WORK WHAT YOU'RE DOING WHAT YOUR HOBBIES ARE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WHERE AND NO ONE IS GOING TO BE HOME. SO OF I'M THE CHINA, CHINA'S TARGET THEY GOT BIG PROBLEMS THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY, BUT I'M WITH YOU ON FROM A GENERAL SECURITY MORE IT'S MORE OF A HUMAN RIGHT THING GOT I THINK THAT YOU KNOW WE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT DO I AGREE WELL IN MY OPINION THESE DEVICES TO PROTECT US THEY ALTHOUGH ITS PUT EVERYTHING ON US WHEN THERE'S A BREACH OF ANY KIND LIKE YOU SHOULD GET YOURS, YOU KNOW INFORMATION CHECK AND I'M LIKE I THINK WE NEED PEOPLE CONTINUALLY PUSHING US TOWARDS A MORE PRIVATE FUTURE NOT WHERE WE HAVE TO OPT INTO THIS YEAH SO ANYWAY, GOOD TO KNOW THAT INFORMATION SO IF YOU'RE ON MESSAGE.

I MESSAGE YOU'RE OKAY, ANDROID ANDROID YOUR CASE WHEN YOU'RE INTERACTING BETWEEN THE PLATFORMS AGAINST LITTLE THERE'S ALWAYS THAT ONE FRIEND THAT MESSES UP THE TAX RATE BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANDROID AND EVERYONE ELSE'S APPLE. YOU KNOW YOU OK LET'S MOVE ON TO THIS WALMART NOW OWNS VISIO THE RETAIL GIANT FINALIZED ITS 2. 3 BILLION DOLLAR PURCHASE OF THE IRVINE BASED TV MAKER AND IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ADVERTISING.
