How this WhatsApp Hack Works?
It is the most simplest types of hack I have ever seen. Whenever we install a WhatsApp on our new phones, the social media app ask for our phone number to set up the account. Upon entering the phone number, we get a one-time code to that number. All this process shows that the number is in your possession. When you enter the code, you are done and will start getting WhatsApp messages. The hacker plays with the user’s mind and uses an already hijacked account to contact the victim’s friends. While messaging, the attacker tells the victim friends that he is having an issue with receiving a six-digit code so he should be helping him. This six-digit code is WhatsApp verification code. By sending it to their friend, they are actually sending it to the attacker.
Hackers are Hijacking WhatsApp Accounts these days with this Simple Trick
Once they are done with sending their account is hijacked.
A friend messages saying they’ve mistakenly sent you their WhatsApp code, please send it to them. It is YOUR code. You send it, they hack your account. Has happened to several friends today. — Alex Deane (@ajcdeane) March 28, 2020 So the best advice we can give to our readers is not to send a six-digit code to anyone ever. It actually belongs to you and will bring new trouble for you once you send it. The hijacker can easily extract your bank account details and other details about you once he gets access to your personal account. Furthermore, he can easily access your friends through the groups you are using. Beware! Also Read: WhatsApp Fact Checking Feature for Messages To Reduce Fake Facts Regarding Coronavirus
