WhatsApp offers many security features like end-to-end encryption. However, as good as these security measures are, WhatsApp still cannot avoid the account being hacked..

Recently, there's a tweet from @ihackbanme, tweeted on X previously known as Twitter, an issue about WhatsApp that has the potential to turn heads even when the user sleeps.verification"A user who is not available to respond to verification checks – whether they're asleep, in-flight, or have simply set their smartphone to"do not disturb” – may be at risk of losing their WhatsApp account.

The user is unavailable so doesn't realize there is a suspicious login. The attacker then tells WhatsApp that the SMS didn't arrive and asks for verification by phone call. Since the account owner is still unavailable and cannot pick up the call, the call goes to the number's. Knowing the target's phone number, the attacker then attempts to access their voicemail by keying in the last four digits of the user's mobile number, which is usually the default PIN code to access the user's voicemail.

The attacker then has the WhatsApp verification code and can use it to access the victim's WhatsApp account. They can then set up their 2FA on it, leaving the actual owner locked out of their account. Once the account has been hacked, the attacker could use it to hijack accounts of the user's contacts, spread malware, or hold the account hostage until the owner pays up to get it back.1. Change the default PIN of your voicemail.Tap Account > Two-step verification > Enable.Enter an email address, or tap Skip if you don’t want to. WhatsApp says it recommends adding an email address so you can reset two-step verification if you need to.
