WhatsApp accounts can still get hacked and users in UAE are not a hundred percent fool proof.
Scammers still send malicious photos and links that urge users to click, thereby allowing them to snoop into private conversations, steal photos, contacts, passwords and card details.
The UAE’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) have advised residents what to do in the case of having their accounts hacked.
In case if hacked, delete the app permanently from the phone and then re-install the app.
