WhatsApp is the most popular and secure messaging app, which has more than 1.5 billion users all over the world, so that’s why it is often targeted by spyware and other vulnerable attacks.
For last few days a spyware which is considered to be created by an Israeli cybersecurity and intelligence company called NSO Group, has effected lot of WhatsApp users.
How It Attacks & What It Does?
The spyware is transmitted by using voice call feature of the app. It is so advance that even if the recipient doesn’t accept the call it still can be transmitted to his phone.
It is used to hide the call records to erase the call tracking. From there it can access to internal records of the app, which could be your confidential data as well.
