Popular messaging apps WhatsApp says they are victims of hacking. They ensured that hackers are inserting a spyware made by an Israeli company on mobile phones and digital devices. Through which people can monitor mobile calls or text messages remotely.

How To Stay Safe From Hacking?

WhatsApp App urged nearly 150 million subscribers to update their apps faster.

Keep in mind that the updates you have to do manually - which are manually called. Because it does not leave it in the hands of the red dot on the head of the AppStore, since the app has gone under hacker control.

One of the main reasons for the popularity of internet services such as WhatsApp is its security.

That is, whose account - no one other than him, will not be able to enter it, will not know what he is saying, what messages are exchange - his privacy will remain.

But now it seems, this spyware - which is said to be made in Israel - is able to break that security wall, capable of surveillance.

This spyware is entering your phone on the neck of the call - even if you do not take it, it will automatically be installed on your phone.

You can not see that call because hackers have taken control of the app. So here you know what else you can do.

If you yourself or your friend backs up WhatsApp conversations between you and GoogleDrive, then there is a problem.

It is not encrypted, but privacy protection will not work in this case. So if you want to maintain privacy, you can disable the backup or disable it. You can do this by visiting the chat backup options in your settings.

Two-factor authentication is a good way for mobile or digital devices to keep any data safe and keep others out of touch.

Many apps, including WhatsApp, have various security and privacy protections. If you go to Settings> Accounts> Privacy, then you can see everything. From there you can control who can see your profile photo, or who you are or where you are.

You can switch off the check mark as a proof that you read 'read receipt`, which means that any message you have read.

If you are a lawyer, activist, human rights activist or journalist - then it is important. If you are not like this then there may not be much reason to worry.
