And governments are introducing stricter and stricter data sovereignty laws.

Recent revelations have shaken the U.S. telecommunications industry to its core. According to reports from major news outlets like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, as well as confirmations from U.S. government agencies, a highly skilled group of hackers known as Salt Typhoon - believed to be backed by the Chinese government - has breached key components of the U.S. communications infrastructure.

The recent revelations of China’s hack of western telecommunications providers across multiple countries are a red flag for corporate and government leaders who care about their sensitive data. The exfiltration of massive amounts of Internet data from western mobile and fixed line networks tells us that end-to-end encryption of internal data is table stakes, and that data protection requires a zero-trust, zero-knowledge, and post-quantum-friendly approach.

The Scottish Government’s decision to ban WhatsApp and other consumer-grade messaging apps for official business marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of secure and accountable workplace communication. This move, announced by Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes, reflects the urgent need for transparency, data sovereignty, and secure communication channels in modern governance. At Wire, we couldn’t agree more with this direction.

WhatsApp, the ubiquitous communication tool used for everything from family check-ins, party planning, unsanctioned work communications , and even the occasional cat meme. The app makes staying in touch incredibly easy. So easy in fact that WhatsApp is often used, whether purposefully or not, as a tool for corporate messaging and calling. For any business that has sensitive data to protect or keep private, there are many reasons why using WhatsApp for enterprise communication is a terrible idea.

When American tech giants pitch their cloud services as the answer to Europe's data sovereignty needs, they often use the term "sovereign platforms" to suggest they can offer the highest levels of security and compliance with European laws. However, these claims can be misleading, and trusting US-based companies with critical data might come with significant risks, particularly for public institutions, enterprises, and citizens in the EU.

Another day, another depressing tale of wide-open-by-design collaboration software from tech giants, that leads to easy exploitation by hackers. This time, it’s Microsoft Teams opening the door for phishing attackers to send federated Teams server messages to organizations who didn’t have sufficient paranoia to close the biggest open door ever into their internal communications.
