Kuwaiti WhatsApp accounts hacked in new way

  • 20/03/2024

Cybersecurity expert and head of the Cybersecurity Committee at the Kuwaiti Electronic Media Union, Muhammad Al-Rashidi, revealed that a number of Kuwaiti WhatsApp accounts were hacked in a new way. Al-Rashidi explained that this hack begins with a message via the WhatsApp  from an unknown number claiming to have received a message from the number to be hacked. 


Al-Rashidi stressed the need to communicate with the relevant official authorities to inform them of what happened so that the account is not exploited for things that violate the law, as well as informing family and friends, so that sums of money are not requested from them, stressing at the same time the necessity of activating the (two-step verification) method and linking the account to e-mail to make it easier to recover.
