WhatsApp can be used pretty much on every mobile device, including mobiles phones and tablets and is currently the most used mobile messaging application in the world.

What Has Happened

A vulnerability has been identified in the mobile WhatsApp which has allowed criminals to install Spyware through and infected voice call.

The spyware can perform a few malicious activities including the ability to view the users data, looks at their texts messages and view their voice calls.

Worst of all, the Spyware operators can now activate your camera and microphone to listen and see exactly what you are doing!

The extent of the threat is not currently known. There have been a few reports of human rights activists and lawyers targeted.

What is Spyware

Spyware is like a digital virus, but instead of hurting your phone, tablet or computer, it is able to spy on you.

They do this usually for financial or political gain.

Unlike jumping through your window to rob you, criminals from all over the world can use spyware to steal your data, money and information over a simple internet connection. Most of the time you do not even know it has happened.

Who Is Behind This

Although it is only early days right now.

Reputable news agencies such as the Financial Times claim an Israeli Cyber Security Group are responsible for the creation and development of this particular Spyware Program.

Have You Been Affected

Right now; probably not.

If you are just the average home user, there doesn’t seem to be much gain for them to target you. However, that doesn’t mean other people will not or you will not be in the future.

It seems right now lawyers and political personal are the targets.

If you haven’t received any calls at all you are safe.

If you have received a call from someone you do not know, or a phone call has dropped out from someone you don’t know, you might be infected.
