Re: Vulnerability in WhatsApp
Thanks Hans. I've just updated, my version now is 2.19.134. I assume this is the latest ?
Cheers, Claude.

Re: Vulnerability in WhatsApp
Some article I read mentions "missed calls in WhatsApp during uncanny hours" as an indication of possible attack. For those who wonder how you would know, whether you are affected, no guarantees it is always like that. Also, this attack seems highly specific and affected phone amount might well be only a couple world-wide.

Your post seems to be a word for word copy of the fourth post in this thread at Reddit: WhatsApp Vulnerability: Announced Today : Reddit
Are you otherwise known as "RegularAlicorn"?
