Subject: Vanish Messenger: A new privacy aware messenger, perfect for business conversations or drunk texts.
Joining the line with rival chat apps WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger, and Signal, our new instant messaging service known as Vanish Messenger has finally rolled out the world’s first privacy focused messenger. We at Disappears believes using their underlying technology will allow for “Real” encrypted communication, making security breaches virtually impossible and allowing for online communication to be intimate, secure and comfortable.
We focused on taking known security vulnerabilities in well-known messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Facebook. For example, cloud backup in WhatsApp where your keys are stored in the cloud, encrypted chat not on by default on Telegram, or Facebook messengers horrendous meta-data leakage. Vanish Messenger solves all these problems.
Moreover, our group has identified how to improve existing features already found on other encrypted messengers; subsequently generating an innovative product that incorporates everything needed in an encrypted messaging app. For instance, with Vanish Messenger, users have the ability to delete sent content off a receiver's device at ‘any time’; other apps like Telegram, only permit deletion within the first 48 hours of sent content. Additionally, Vanish Messenger allows up to 20,000 encrypted audio calls and 7 person group-video calls. Alternative apps, such as Signal, merely allow one to one audio and video calls.
We hope to create awareness about why encryption is vital to everyone even if you have nothing to hide. It keeps you safe, it protects your data, your communications. Encryption protects the identity of dissidents all over the world. It's a vital tool to allow journalists to communicate securely with their sources, NGOs to protect their work in repressive countries, and lawyers to communicate privately with their clients.
Strong encryption means unbreakable encryption. Any weakness in encryption will be exploited by hackers, criminals and foreign governments. Many of the hacks that make the news can be attributed to weak or - even worse - non-existent encryption which is unfortunately common today. If a backdoor exists, then anyone can exploit it. All it takes is knowledge of the backdoor and the capability to exploit it. And while it may be a secret temporarily, it's a fragile secret. This means that if the NSA can eavesdrop on your conversations or get into your computers without your consent, so can cybercriminals.
Either we build encryption systems to keep everyone secure from privacy threats, or we allow everyone to remain vulnerable. Thus we decided to form Disappears to build a strong encryption system that brings an intuitive, easy to use and effective solution to the marketplace through our first product offering Vanish Messenger.
With heightened encryption comes a greater level of security. For instance, many companies don’t see the growth potential amongst the different institutions that abide by them. Moving them across multiple platforms allows for full integration of the software.
