Swiss army bans WhatsApp due to privacy concerns
Switzerland's army has banned the use of WhatsApp whilst on duty, a spokesman confirmed Thursday, in favour of a Swiss messaging service deemed more secure in terms of data protection.
At the end of December, commanders and chiefs of staff received an email from headquarters recommending that their troops switch to using the Swiss-based Threema.
The recommendation applies “to everyone”, including conscripts doing their military service and those returning for refresher courses, army spokesman Daniel Reist told AFP.

Four current and former employees of Denmark's two intelligence services were detained in December for leaking highly classified information. Findsen is the only one who remains in custody while the investigation continues.

Nine really isn't that many considering they are replacing 30 or so Nimrod MR2. Even if they are twice as good, nine is still a very small number of airframes.
