WhatsApp has recently been targeted by hackers for attacks aimed at tricking people into stealing their accounts, and most of them are so naive that they are left without them, without being able to recover them. Everything is based on convincing people to give the hackers a security code for logging into the application, it being sent via SMS when trying to log in from another phone with the same number, the method being very successful in Asia for now.
WhatsApp more and more people are affected by the hackers who collect accounts without stopping, but there is one measure that everyone can take to prevent their account from ever being stolen, no matter what happens. We are talking about the 2-step authentication that WhatsApp also recommends for all accounts, offering advanced security for users who want to be 100% sure that their accounts cannot be compromised by hackers.
WhatsApp: What to DO NOW so that someone DOESN'T STEAL YOUR Account
WhatsApp allows us to create a special code that must be entered every time the activation of the phone number is attempted on a new phone, this being additional to the code sent via SMS by the platform. Setting this code is very simple, and WhatsApp even allows the use of an email address to recover this code in case we forget it, so there is no chance of being left without the possibility of logging into our accounts.
WhatsApp it has a special menu in the settings section of the application and through it we can immediately activate the 2-step authentication for our account, the whole process lasting only a few seconds. After activating this additional security method, we can be sure that no matter if we give the hackers an activation code received via SMS, they will not have anything to do with it because they do not have the special code set by us in this section.
WhatsApp has this security measure available to everyone at the moment, so no matter what phone model you have, you can additionally protect your account against hackers.
