A recent investigation by the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab has uncovered potential security weaknesses in WeChat’s custom encryption protocol. These weaknesses arise because the developers of WeChat, which boasts over a billion monthly active users, have modified the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 protocol, creating a version called MMTLS.
WeChat’s software has security issues? Color me shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Well, not that shocked.Also:

Man in the Middle TLS
I am more surprised that they use an encryption.
Next you’re going to tell me that ROT13 is a problem?
Don’t roll your own crypto.
