An error in WhatsApp allows a stranger to edit messages

Cybersecurity is one of the main concerns for platforms and users. WhatsApp does not escape malicious attacks

WhatsApp users are currently facing a security risk due to an error in the platform system that allows strangers to edit chat messages.

The most popular online conversation app in the world does not escape the attacks of hackers and pirates of the network. The company has already been notified of the failure that could even cause the identity theft of customers.

Experts from Check Point Research, a company dedicated to network security, indicate that “FakesApp” have managed to enter the application with a web extension. This put on customers alarms.

On the current failure of WhatsApp, it is relevant that users know how it works. During the connection, a third party can enter the chat, edit their messages and these will appear on the screen.

The company is working to solve the problem that affects both the credibility of the application and the attraction of new customers around the world.
