SUMMARY
- In its nearly ten years of history, WhatsApp has become a target of scammers quite a few times. If you have been with it for a while, you probably remember some of them. In spring 2016, for example, WhatsApp users were invited to download the “exclusive” version of the app called “WhatsApp Gold.” It promised future users the ability to send hundreds of pictures at once, new emojis, video calling, and super security features. Scammers said this app had been previously available only to celebrities. So, those who wanted to join the high society, followed the link to download page on the app website and got their mobiles infected with malware. That malware could steal data and track movements and activity of those using it.
Later the same year, scammers sent out messages offering 100 GBP (around $130) gift vouchers from Sainsbury’s, a chain of supermarkets in the UK. Messages had malicious links in them, following which helped criminals to collect personal data, install tracking cookies and advertising browser extensions to the victims’ phones.
