Brazilian Federal Police can reportedly reverse WhatsApp's "view once" messages

It was reported in Brazil last week that the Federal Police was able to access previously displayed WhatsApp "view once" messages during an "extraction carried out by specific software that jointly displays the messages and files sent, reversing, in practice, the single view of the message" .

Here follows the original report, in Portuguese, and a quick translation to English.

Original Report

Mensagens trocadas entre Vorcaro e Moraes foram extraídas e periciadas pela PF, diz jornal

Reportagem publicada pelo blog da jornalista Malu Gaspar, do jornal “O Globo”, trouxe prints de mensagens atribuídas ao banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro enviadas ao ministro Alexandre de Moraes horas antes de Vorcaro ser preso pela primeira vez.

O jornal o Globo publicou, na noite desta sexta-feira (6), uma reportagem informando que os dados das mensagens trocadas no dia 17 de novembro entre Daniel Vorcaro e o ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), foram retirados do celular do dono do Master por meio de análise técnica da Polícia Federal (PF), e que essa análise permite visualizar, ao mesmo tempo, a tela de whatsapp com as mensagens e as imagens de visualização única nela contida.

O jornal informa também que, diferentemente do material enviado à CPMI do INSS, o conteúdo a que o Globo teve acesso não é fruto de comparação entre os horários dos textos que constam em blocos de nota de Vorcaro e as mensagens enviadas por ele, embora coincidam, e sim resultado da extração realizada por um software específico que exibe conjuntamente as mensagens e os arquivos enviados, revertendo, na prática, a visualização única da mensagem.

Messages exchanged between Vorcaro and Moraes were extracted and examined by the Federal Police, says newspaper

A report published by journalist Malu Gaspar’s blog, from the newspaper “O Globo”, brought prints of messages attributed to banker Daniel Vorcaro sent to minister Alexandre de Moraes hours before Vorcaro was arrested for the first time.

The newspaper “O Globo” published, on the night of this Friday (6), a report informing that the data of the messages exchanged on November 17th between Daniel Vorcaro and Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), were removed from the [banker’s] cell phone through technical analysis by the Federal Police (PF), and that this analysis allows viewing, at the same time, the WhatsApp screen with the messages and the single-view images contained therein.

The newspaper also informs that, unlike the material sent to [a National Congress investigation], the content that “O Globo” had access to is not the result of a comparison between the times of the texts contained in Vorcaro’s notebooks and the messages sent by him, although they coincide, but rather the result of extraction carried out by specific software that jointly displays the messages and files sent, reversing, in practice, the single view of the message .

Adopt WEBCAT for all web-based applications

I have created a new feature request on Proton’s UserVoice and I would like to share it here with the wider community.

Adopt WEBCAT for all web-based applications

The whole existence of Proton revolves around a trustworthy, easy-to-use suite of end-to-end encrypted applications. But one thing is to use Proton’s digitally signed mobile applications, another is to use Proton’s web-based applications.

So I suggest the early adoption of WEBCAT , a Freedom of the Press Foundation project currently in alpha.

From their website:

The Problem

Websites can change their code at any time, and HTTPS alone does not guarantee that every user receives the same, intended web application. WEBCAT addresses this by enabling signed delivery and transparency log–backed distribution of participating web applications, allowing end users to verify exactly what they received from a website.

WEBCAT’s developers are currently, as of March 2026, asking for developers and webmasters to join the alpha tests.

From the alpha announcement:

We especially want feedback from teams who want to use WEBCAT, but find that the set of web application features supported by WEBCAT are not sufficient for their use case. WEBCAT has already expanded the features it supports in response to such feedback, and we want to continue doing so.

Epstein files contain explicit but unsubstantiated claim that Trump abused minor

Department of Justice did not release FBI memos when it uploaded millions of pages of files beginning in December

Three memos that describe four interviews conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2019 contain explicit but unsubstantiated claims that Donald Trump sexually abused a woman when she was a minor in the early 1980s with the assistance of Jeffrey Epstein, according to a Guardian review of those documents.

The Department of Justice did not release those records when it uploaded millions of pages of files related to Epstein beginning in December. The existence of the missing documents was first reported by independent journalist Roger Sollenberger and subsequently confirmed by NPR, causing outrage in Washington and sparking an investigation from congressional Democrats.

The Guardian obtained the missing FBI form 302 reports, which memorialize 25 pages of agents’ notes from the four interviews conducted in the summer and fall of 2019. The notes describe how the woman came forward to tell agents she recognized Epstein from a photo sent by a childhood friend. Only the first session, in which she did not name Trump, made it into the public release. The Guardian has chosen not to publish the woman’s name.
