LINE MESSAGING BUGS OPEN ASIAN USERS TO CYBER ESPIONAGE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Researchers discovered major security flaws in the messaging app LINE, which is widely used in Asia. These bugs let attackers replay messages, impersonate users, and access plain-text details, all due to weak custom encryption. The risks are amplified because LINE handles everything from banking to government services, yet there are no current plans to fix the vulnerabilities, leaving millions exposed.
