WhatsApp is easy to hack, it has been claimed, by Bass Bosschert, a Dutch security expert from Holland. Bosschert decided to investigate if it was possible to read and upload WhatsApp chat from one Android application to another. And the answer was a worrying “yes”, even after Google’s update of the App last week.
Boschertt, CTO of start-up Double-think, writes in his blog exactly how to go about hacking into other people’s WhatsApp. He explains that the WhatsApp database is saved on the SD card of an Android and that any Android application can access that information if the user allows them. And, he points out, because users tend to allow anything onto their Android device, this is not a problem. Boschert then goes on to outline how to go about the process, providing visual cues. Bosschert is clear to point out that the security issue is not the fault of WhatsApp, stating that it is a flaw in the Android’s data sandboxing system.
The claims that WhatsApp is easy to hack will not be welcomed by the millions of WhatsApp users worldwide. The company, which was founded in 2009, has around 400 million users a month, and for good reason. The app allows users to send messages, photos and videos for free, both nationally and internationally. Users can download it on their phones with ease and, the most appealing aspect of the app, it is free for the first year, with users paying a small fee after. The idea that their chats can now be easily hacked into might make WhatsApp users consider paying more for another service with better security.
WhatsApp have issued a statement about the claims. The company acknowledged the news but said it was “overstated.” They pointed out that under normal circumstances, SD card data is not exposed, however if users download malware or a virus then they might be at risk. Whatsapp went on to say that its users should be careful to update software for their apps to help with security issues, and should only download software from trusted companies.
How Facebook feel about the latest claims is not yet known. The company recently paid $19 billion for WhatsApp. That buyout was not without its controversies. Many claimed the buyout threatened users privacy prompting WhatsApp to update the app. One update was allowing privacy options such removing the last seen function which allows other WhatsApp users to be able to see when someone last checked their messages. The irony of the privacy issue was not lost on Bosschert who said that with the latest revelations that other android users could hack into your WhatsApp and spy on you, Facebook did not really need to buy out the company in order to so themselves.
The news that WhatsApp is easy to hack will be the talking point of many in the technological world. Facebook and WhatsApp will have to act fast to keep the millions users switching to another service, or another service competing with it on the security front. More news such as the recent announcement that WhatsApp would allow users to make phonecalls for free on top of messaging might have to be released quicker than it takes to follow Bosschert’s step by step WhatsApp hacking demo and spy on what your competitors, family or friends are up to.

I am not sure if its okay to recommend a hacker, but this man Albert Vadim saved my life literally. He helped me erase some really incriminating records of mine, most of which were a set up. If you need help, here you go EMAIL- Quickarturhack{@}Gmail,com Kik- Arturquickhack or WhatsApp +17025301177
He is currently fixing my cousins credit and it has currently moved from 344 to 640 and still climbing. I honestly want to say more but I rather stop here.
Your criminal record can surely be erased. When i came out of jail, no one was ready to hire me and i couldn’t afford a lawyer so i got a hacker to do it for me and it really paid off. I now have a very good job and i’m living very fine. The hacker that helped me goes by the name cybervenom6. You can get through to him via his mail cybervenom6 at gmail dot com.
I never know that a cell phone can only be hacked remotely using the phone number until I was introduced to a hacker called Vlad who helped me hack into my wife’s phone with just her cell phone number , Now I can track her phone location, her WhatsApp messages, Facebook and all her calls are recorded so I can listen to them. If you think your partner or spouse is cheating, I advise you to contact the hacker on WhatsApp to help you. +79045147090 or [arturplavnik @ gMail . com], tell him that Leonard told you about him. In this way, I show appreciation for helping me with problems with my betrayed wife
AS LONG AS ITS CYBERTECHWIZARD @ GMAIL.COM THEN YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
My ex ruined my credit due to his incessant extravagant spending spree, I found myself in a big mess. I talked to a credit repair company and I was told that it would take me non less than a year to fix my credit. I was devastated, that’s a very long time which I can’t cope with. I looked online and came across Credit Doctor’s contact, hit him up and to my greatest surprise, my credit was repaired in 4 working days from 486 -810. I was so amazed and it didn’t cost me too much really. I implore you to contact him on for all credit issues and hacking issues. No doubt that he’s the best out there and your problems will be solved!

As much as I feel hacking is unethical, I believe it is a necessary evil when dealing with cheating spouses. I had mine handled by Professortom16. He did it with a touch of finesse. I am thanking him for a job well done. Send a mail to him via gmail.
