Malicious Emails – Fake “WhatsApp” emails saying “You have a new message”
By adrian.aylandsystemforce.co.uk In On July 13, 2015
We are seeing fake “WhatsApp” emails saying “You have a new message” that contain a malicious link.
We recommend that should you receive ANY WhatsApp email, that you delete it.
This is because:
1 – The UK Government is currently considering banning WhatsApp
2 – The WhatsApp application will share your mobile device’s contact’s list with their servers, and if you do NOT have permission of the contacts on your mobile device, this may be a breach of the Data Protection Act
3 – WhatsApp is targeted for Phishing scams / malicious emails such as this one.
