Just got this in my DM:
I've gathered the rate at which people are getting hacked ...this has to be a whatsapp business hacking bot that was created:
Criteria to be hacked:
- Have an econet line registered on whatsapp business
- Have your device be offline/the app closed for 5 mins or more
Hacking Process:
-Temporary Call/SMS Forwarding on econet line to intercept and get onetime OTP
- If Enabled, it then bypasses all other 2FA processes, (still don't know how its doing this)
- Logs into your whatsapp β (as long as u are still offline or the app is still closed)
- Changes 2FA email address, creates broadcast lists to send phishing links or messages asking for money
- If you are being targeted remove information like linked bank cards (if you run ads from whatsapp) and remove linked accounts like Instagram or facebook.
How to protect yourself:
- Stay online and connected as much as possible, (until the wave of hacking has died down)
- Dial *#61# to check if calls or sms's are being forwarded
- Dial ##002# to clear any call forwarding. (try do this every hour especially if u offline/app closed)
- to detect temporary calls forwarding, Check your network bars on your phone - they will show no connection or be blank for quite some time β you will also not be able to place any calls or send texts for a short period
