On the WhatsApp messaging application, there is a link that can allow an account to be hacked. This is adware that poses as wp20 . ru. With one click, it is automatically downloaded to the phone. Its role is thus to subsequently send advertisements randomly. The link would also have the option of having personal information such as name and phone number. The various data can be sold or used for account hacking purposes. Also, is it necessary to avoid clicking on the link to avoid being hacked.
Beware of dubious links
Ultimately, it would be advisable never to open any other dubious link (bit(.)ly, tinyurl,.cu,.ru…). These various warnings come in a context where the messaging application WhatsApp is making a series of innovations to protect the privacy of users. According to an announcement that was recently made by the site WaBetaInfo specialized in information related to Whatsapp, it will now be much easier to block a user. It will soon be enough to make a long press on a conversation to simply block the person who annoys. There will also be another option, once more to block someone. A “block” button will be added to the other options to allow blocking directly upon receipt of a notification.
