ISLAMABAD - FIA warns social media users regarding new cyber hacking techniques applied by the hackers.
WhatsApp could be the new target of hackers in Pakistan, the Federal Investigation Agency has said.
Do not share any code received on your phone, as it could lead to hacking, it instructed. The agency advised the public about the risk from international payment messages.
The FIA will send the notice to the public, banks and institutions. They have received complaints about calls from unknown sources.
While WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption guarantees that your messages are secure, they could still be hacked.
Hackers can get hold of your account by urging you to open a certain link or performing an action from your device. These links contain malware and viruses, which could allow the user to get hold of your personal information.
