WhatsApp, a messaging platform with over 2.5 billion users worldwide, has been facing a surge in hacking incidents. Hackers are gaining access to users' accounts and tricking their contacts into sending money under false pretenses.
One common scam involves hackers posing as the hacked user and asking for financial help, providing a fake account number for transfers. If you ever fall victim to such an attack, it's crucial to stay calm and take action to recover your account.
If you notice unfamiliar two-step verification prompts, it means the hacker has activated this security feature. You'll need to wait for 7 days before regaining access without the code. During this time, the hacker will be logged out, preventing further unauthorized access.
Staying vigilant and securing your account with strong passwords and two-step verification is essential to protect yourself from such hacking attempts. Remember to never share your verification codes or personal information with anyone to stay safe online.
