What You Need to Know About the Latest WhatsApp Vulnerability
If you are one of WhatsApp’s billion-plus users, you may have read that on Monday the company announced that it had found a vulnerability. This vulnerability allowed an attacker to remotely upload malicious code onto a phone by sending packets of data that look like phone calls from a number not in your contacts list. These repeated calls then cause WhatsApp to crash. This is a particularly scary vulnerability because the does not require that the user pick up the phone, click a link, enter their login credentials, or interact in any way.
Fortunately, the company fixed the vulnerability on the server side over the weekend and rolled out a patch for the client side on Monday.
