A new malicious scheme allows attackers to take control of WhatsApp accounts without victims noticing. The method exploits vulnerabilities in devices to gain unauthorized access to user accounts.
The scheme mainly affects iPhone users. Attackers take advantage of security flaws in devices to execute the attack silently.
The exploited vulnerabilities have already been fixed by both Apple and Meta, the company that owns WhatsApp, through security updates. However, devices that have not been updated remain at risk.
To protect themselves, users should ensure they keep their devices and applications always updated with the latest available versions, thus avoiding becoming victims of this type of attack.
