In this digital age, time is important, so
most people want to satisfy most of their needs in just one click… More and
more messengers are becoming popular, but WhatsApp still remains especially
popular, which is why hackers keep their sights on it.
Here are some of the vulnerabilities in the
WhatsApp application…
> Did you know that it is possible to
gain access to an individual’s messages because of vulnerability in the
WhatsApp protocol?
> Hackers can a gain access to a user’s
cell phone by using a vulnerability that is triggered when a video call is
answered.
> There is vulnerability with the
two-factor authentication on WhatsApp. If a user switches off their phone at
night, the password recovery system can be made to call and name the code, this
code can be accessed using voicemail since most passwords are still weak.
