A new vulnerable found in WhatsApp which allow hackers to hack WhatsApp account.
How does this trick works?
First hacker setup WhatApp on a new phone using the target’s phone number
From WhatsApp, the hacker calls up the phone number on the target’s phone and provides the requisite PIN code to authenticate the account.
If the hacker has access to the phone, then he can answer the phone call and take the PIN code
Anyone can answer the WhatsApp call without unlocking the screen on the phone, even if lockscreen feature is enabled.
This trick bypasses the security password mechanism that is required to access key phone features.
Especially on iPhones configured with Siri authentication for lockscreen are even more vulnerable to access without any Pin, as contact details will be readily available for access through Siri’s settings.
In other way if the person attempting to steal WhatsApp account information does not have the target’s phone number, he/she can still get it easily by calling their own number from target’s phone via Siri.
