RE: Is this issue caused by plus?
Though you don't need to worry about MS' reading your messages or intercepting your cousins photos or whatever. They have absolutely no interest in that. Quite frankly you (and all the other billions of people using Messenger) are absolute of no interest to MS.

But yes, you could encrypt messages and such using 3rd party tools if you prefer (they do exist - but always require both you and your contact to install them). Although, quite frankly I think they are a complete waste of time and resources, especially for the common user who is not into leaking official state property or secret docs from the FBI and such stuff.

As for cracking RAR passwords in a few hours: that's a myth though. Yes, computers are way faster and far more powerful than years ago, but they are still not that fast. It still takes years to brute force them as long as you use strong passwords (eg: mixing lower and capital letters and numbers, and like at least 8 characters long or something).
