Google security researcher Natalie Silvanovich discovered the exploit at the end of August. However, the exploits were disclosed as patched vulnerabilities. WhatsApp patched the vulnerability on Android on September 28 and on iOS on October 3.
WhatsApp spokesperson responded to ZDNet, stating there is no evidence suggesting the exploits occurred naturally. The company remains deeply concerned about user security.
Recently, WhatsApp has consistently been a target of attacks. Specifically, Israel's online intelligence agency warns users about a widely exploited method of account hijacking through poorly protected chat boxes. Although this doesn't imply vulnerability in WhatsApp, it still advises users to be more cautious in safeguarding their account information. It recommends rejecting calls from unfamiliar strangers.
