Facebook-owned WhatsApp has fixed six previously undisclosed vulnerabilities in its chat platform. The company committed to more transparency about app flaws, with an advisory page aimed at keeping the community better informed of security vulnerabilities. The site is part of an effort by WhatsApp to be more transparent about platform vulnerabilities to not just users, but also the security community, and patch them in a timely manner. Last year the company disclosed a zero-day vulnerability only after hackers were exploiting it to install spyware on people s smartphones.
