How to Protect Yourself from Whatsapp Hacking Scams

Whatsapp is one of the most popular and secure messaging apps in the world. It uses end-to-end encryption to keep your messages private and safe from hackers. However, Whatsapp is not immune to hacking attempts, and there are several ways that scammers can try to hijack your account and access your personal information.

In this article, we will explain some of the common Whatsapp hacking scams and how you can protect yourself from them.

Remote Code Execution via GIF

One of the Whatsapp hacking methods that was discovered in 2019 was the remote code execution via GIF. This scam works by sending a malicious GIF image to a user, which contains hidden code that can take control of the app when the user opens the Gallery view to send a media file. The hacker can then access the user's entire chat history, files, photos, and videos sent through Whatsapp.

This vulnerability affected versions of Whatsapp up to 2.19.230 on Android 8.1 and 9. It was patched by Facebook, which owns Whatsapp, after it was reported by a security researcher. To keep yourself safe from this and similar problems, you should always keep Whatsapp updated to the latest version.

The Pegasus Voice Call Attack

Another Whatsapp hacking method that was discovered in early 2019 was the Pegasus voice call attack. This scary attack allowed hackers to access a device simply by placing a Whatsapp voice call to their target. Even if the target didn't answer the call, the attack could still be effective. And the target may not even be aware that malware has been installed on their device.

This attack worked through a method called buffer overflow, which is where an attacker deliberately puts in so much code into a small buffer that it \"overflows\" and writes code into a location it shouldn't be able to access. When the hacker can run code in a location that should be secure, they can take malicious steps.

This attack installed an older and well-known piece of spyware called Pegasus, which allowed hackers to collect data on phone calls, messages, photos, and video. Pegasus was developed by an Israeli company called NSO Group, which sells it to governments and law enforcement agencies for surveillance purposes.

This vulnerability affected versions of Whatsapp for Android prior to v2.19.134; WhatsApp Business for Android prior to v2.19.44; WhatsApp for iOS prior to v2.19.51; WhatsApp Business for iOS prior to v2.19.51; WhatsApp for Windows Phone prior to v2.18.348; and WhatsApp for Tizen prior to v2.18.15.

It was fixed by Whatsapp in May 2019 after it was alerted by Citizen Lab, a research group at the University of Toronto that investigates digital threats to human rights.

To protect yourself from this and similar attacks, you should never answer calls from unknown numbers on Whatsapp, and always update your app and device software regularly.

The SMS Security Code Scam

A more recent Whatsapp hacking scam that has been spreading in 2021 is the SMS security code scam. This scam works by tricking users into giving away their security codes that are needed to log in to their accounts on new devices.

The scammer first tries to log in to your account using your phone number on another device. This will trigger an SMS text message with a six-digit security code that will be sent to your phone. You will need this code if you want to set up a new account or log in to your existing account on a new device.

However, if you have not initiated this request, it could be a scammer trying to log in to your account.

The next step is that the scammer sends you a Whatsapp message asking for the six-digit code. It appears to come from a genuine friend because that account has already been hijacked by the scammer.

The message may say something like \"I'm sorry, I sent you a 6-digit code by mistake, can you pass it to me please? It's urgent.\" If you fall for this trick and send the code back, you will lose access to your account and the scammer will take over it.
