WhatsApp is at the center of an extremely dangerous alert that targets billions of users around the world at the moment, and this is because they are talking about an extremely serious problem. You all know that WhatsApp can be used not only from mobile phones, but also from a web browser, the American company implementing for everyone the most varied options to use the messaging platform as easily as possible from almost anywhere.
WhatsApp has a huge vulnerability in WhatApp Web, the system that allows us to use the platform including from computers, and this is because the system can be used for unauthorized access to conversations. I told you a few months ago about the fact that certain secret services in Europe used this "gateway" in WhatsApp to access the conversations of terrorists, but now hackers are using it to access the conversations of ordinary people.
WhatsApp: LAST TIME ALERT for Billions of People
WhatsApp allows us to use WhatApp Web if we scan a QR code, generated by the browser that asks to connect to the platform, from the phone on which we have registered the account main. After scanning that QR code with the phone, access to WhatsApp Web is automatically activated and we can see all our conversations, and hackers use this method to trick people into giving them access to all their conversations, without actually knowing what is happening, conversations can be fully monitored.
WhatsApp designed the system so that people can communicate more easily from PCs or tablets, but hackers can gain access to conversations by tricking people through messages through the platform, others, SMS, or emails. If this happens, the victim can block access at any time from the settings menu of the WhatsApp application, but many do not know how to do this, so many have their conversations monitored remotely without knowing this.
WhatsApp has not warned its users about these problems, but a company specializing in cyber security is already doing so because the problems have become extremely serious, unfortunately.
