Expert explains WhatsApp hacking without codes
The article discusses an incident involving the hacking of WhatsApp accounts without the need for verification codes. Cybersecurity expert Muad Boushagl confirmed that the attack relies on a flaw in the authentication process or session management on the application's servers, allowing attackers to bypass the usual verification steps. The breach resulted in many users losing control of their accounts, with suspicious alterations to their data and the addition of unknown email addresses aimed at hijacking them. Although the attackers could not access the content of old messages due to end-to-end encryption, the real danger lies in the ability to send and receive forged messages and impersonate users for fraudulent activities. Boushagl advised users to enable two-step verification and link their accounts to a trusted email address. He also urged those affected to quickly recover their accounts and contact WhatsApp support, emphasizing that this security vulnerability highlights an urgent need to strengthen data protection measures on the app.
