Hackers employ voicemail phishing attacks on WhatsApp users.
Hackers are continuing to get more creative when it comes to stealing personal information, and WhatsApp users should be on alert for any suspicious looking emails.
According to a report from email security company ArmorBlox, a Russian-based group of cyber criminals is using email spoofing and fake voice message notifications to retrieve personal information from the app's users.
Some additional considerations recommended by the email security company include getting familiar with Gartner's Market Guide for Email Security, for assistance in sniffing out these attacks immediately.
Looking for inconsistencies such as grammatical errors or logical deviations from the norm can help users avoid being scammed, even if the email on the surface seems to be from a legitimate source, such as WhatsApp.
