Hackers Steal Govt Officials WhatsApp Data
According to the Advisory issued by National Telecom & Information Technology Security Board (NTSB) (Cabinet Division), it has been reported that government officials are receiving SMS on SIM numbers from WhatsApp to verify phone numbers by clicking on a link and inserting the received code from WhatsApp. After doing so, the user will receive a call from an International NO.(001 …. ) which transfers the complete WhatsApp data / ID to the hackers. The division has strongly recommended that:; (a) do not accept/enter any security code received on WhatsApp, to verify your number; (b) do not enter any type of code received from friends or numbers of your contact list; (c) receipt of international calls after entering code must be avoided, until you are sure; (d) in case of any hacking activity, information be sent on email ID: [email protected] stated the Advisory.
