Hackers could be able to doctor WhatsApp messages due to a flaw in the messaging app’s security protection, experts have warned.
Researchers from Check Point have revealed that vulnerabilites in WhatsApp could allow hackers to gain access to a user’s conversations and alter the content within.
The flaw, published at the Black Hat security confernce in Las Vegas, could affect both private and public chats, potentially leading to the spread of false information or “fake news” by what were thought to be trusted sources.
