Here are the potential dangers of WhatsApp.
Cybercriminals hide malware on a fake WhatsApp Web or desktop App. If downloaded, it will surely compromise confidential information as well as your computer.
WhatsApp backups like iCloud and Google Drive are both decrypted. Meaning, it can be intercepted once used.
The sharing of top-secret users’ data of the two biggest platforms, WhatsApp and Facebook, can be detrimental.
It’s uncontrollable to spread fake news on WhatsApp. Scammers can just buy a list of phone numbers and send you invented information.
Anyone having your WhatsApp number can view your WhatsApp Status. And all in your contact list too. Unless you change its privacy settings into Only Share With. You can choose who can view your WhatsApp Status.
