Big WhatsApp hacking threat! This weakness exposes users’ chats to hackers; Stay safe, here’s how to do it
WhatsApp may be the world’s most popular messenger service, offering end-to-end encryption for chats, which is considered safe. However, its biggest weakness has been exposed and hackers can target users from there. WhatsApp chats reportedly have one security loophole that could be exploited by hackers or malicious actors that is yet to be fixed by the company. The WhatsApp feature is related to handling of user’s backups when they are uploaded to the cloud, according to a recent report. And cloud services too are susceptible to hacking, thereby putting WhatsApp at risk.
