WhatsApp is as secure as any online shopping site. Will that be a challenge to nation-state hackers? Who can say.

But WhatsApp is a 3rd party messaging service that is notoriously difficult to archive, which government regulations demand of official channels of communication. Therefore use of WhatsApp in this context is one where the users are specifically going around government regulations and recordings to have a private conversation that no-one can prove what was said. Its shadow government, back-room, back-channel dealings.

At this point we should all be saying "but her emails..." Its the same thing. Trump and his people go out of their ways to have unrecorded conversations while functioning in an official state capacity for the U.S.
