(Multiple people from CheckPoint who aren't part of the PR department have reached out me to distance themselves from this framing; this email was from PR, not researchers)
Prikaži ovu nit
Security firm CheckPoint discovered a WhatsApp issue that meant an attacker could send a specific group message and crash the app. Okay, fair enough. But the framing was... just a little bit over the top. We didn't cover. Accurately informing users clearly not the motivation.pic.twitter.com/MtZ6MkrpgC

Seems the PR guys customised the title for you
because I received exact same information with relevant no-nonsense title.
Btw, it shouldn't matter how companies portrait information, if a story deserves to be published, our job is to cover it in a way we understand it.pic.twitter.com/2SlZ7voeoy

It wasn't the PR framing that made me decide to not cover. The issue was patched back in September.

Broke: "we found an unexploitable memory corruption bug" Woke: "we stopped cyber terrorism"

No one hacks like Gaston, gets bugs patched like Gaston, cybers the terror so you can relax like Gaston!

I’m just gonna assume this was an incredibly poor take by the marketing department and the researchers themselves simply went “oh lol you can crash WhatsApp with this malformed message. I’ll send them a report real quick.” If not, holy hell what a shit attempt at being relevant.
-
Yeah, my experience with checkpoint is their researchers do good work, then their marketing team makes everyone look like a fucking joke.

Imagine the unmitigated chaos of billions of people who by definition must have phones and each other's numbers suddenly having to send an SMS message.
