就WhatsApp(WhatsApp)而言，存在一种错误的安全感，这是由于我们不时在消息中看到的加密说明。问题是，加密是不够的，因为您的WhatsApp帐户仍然可能被黑客入侵。
现在我们应该都知道WhatsApp很受欢迎。事实上，它是当今最受欢迎的消息传递平台，每月用户超过 10 亿。该服务现在归Facebook所有，有很多隐私问题悬而未决，但这不是今天的重点。
阻止 WhatsApp(Stop WhatsApp)消息被黑客入侵
如果您不小心，我们将研究第三方可以破解您的WhatsApp消息的主要方式，这反过来可能会无休止地损害您的隐私。
- Facebook阅读消息的可能性
- 留意媒体文件劫持
- 警惕 GIF 文件
- WhatsApp Web 可能是个大问题
让我们更详细地看一下。
1] Facebook(Facebook)阅读消息的可能性
是的，你已经正确地阅读了。Facebook可能会读取您的WhatsApp消息，但到目前为止，还没有任何证据。根据WhatsApp 不久前(WhatsApp)的一篇博客文章，使用端到端加密可能会导致Facebook读取消息。
“We’ve rolled out end-to-end encryption. When you and the people you message are using the latest version of WhatsApp, your messages are encrypted by default, which means you’re the only people who can read them. Even as we coordinate more with Facebook in the months ahead, your encrypted messages stay private and no one else can read them. Not WhatsApp, not Facebook, nor anyone else,” according to a WhatsApp blog post.
这很奇怪，但这就是现在的情况。现在，这更多的是安全问题，但确实需要提及。
2]注意媒体文件劫持
这个很有趣，因为它利用了应用程序接收媒体的方式，这适用于WhatsApp和Telegram，因为它们很容易受到攻击。
据我们了解，攻击首先是在您的设备上自动安装恶意软件应用程序。然后，该应用程序将监视WhatsApp和Telegram的传入文件，当发生这种情况时，它将删除传入文件并将其替换为恶意文件或假文件（如果您愿意）。
如果这两个平台的用户没有受过良好的教育，他们可能会成为垃圾邮件和诈骗的受害者。
那么，我们如何解决这个问题呢？好吧，为了安全起见，我们禁用了WhatsApp中的(WhatsApp)保存到图库(Save to Gallery)功能。至于Telegram，好吧，我们无法在这方面为您提供帮助。
就目前而言，为了更好地保护，WhatsApp和Telegram的开发人员需要解决这个问题。
3]警惕GIF文件
GIF(GIFs)很棒，但使用正确的工具，攻击者可以将GIF变成危险武器。你看，由于GIG使用多个编码帧，黑客可以在图像中安装代码。我们还了解到，只要用户打开图库(Gallery)部分查看内容，黑客就可以利用WhatsApp处理其图像的方式。(WhatsApp)
如果出现黑客可以向用户发送 GIF 图像的情况，则该照片可能会危及整个聊天记录。
4] WhatsApp Web可能是个大问题
世界各地的许多用户都在利用WhatsApp Web 所提供(WhatsApp Web has to offer)的功能，因为它可以让您更轻松地在电脑旁与朋友和家人联系。收到消息时无需使用智能手机，只需从WhatsApp Web回复即可。
不幸的是，事情并不像看起来那么美好。事情是这样的，如果用户不太熟悉WhatsApp Web或者他们以前从未使用过它，那么第三方很容易使用受害者的智能手机在他们的计算机上激活该服务。
完成此操作后，罪魁祸首将可以访问整个聊天历史记录，其中包括图像和视频。有没有可能避免这个问题？好吧，答案是肯定的。
如果用户从屏幕顶部向下滑动手指，他们可以判断WhatsApp网络是否在他们的设备上处于活动状态。他们应该会看到一条说明，指出WhatsApp Web当前处于活动状态。不仅如此，还可以知道有多少设备连接到WhatsApp Web，但最大的特点是可以选择从其中一个或全部注销。
How can I stop my WhatsApp messages from being hacked?
There is a false senѕe of security where WhatsApp is concerned, and that is due to the encryption note we see from time-to-time in messages. The problem is, encryption is not enough because your WhatsApp account can still be hacked.
By now we should all know that WhatsApp is very popular; in fact, it is the most popular messaging platform available today with over 1 billion monthly users. The service, which is now owned by Facebook, has a lot of privacy issues hanging over its head, but that is not the focus today.
Stop WhatsApp messages from being hacked
We are going to look into the top ways a third-party could hack your WhatsApp messages if you’re not careful, which could in-turn compromise your privacy to no end.
- The possibility of Facebook reading messages
- Look out for Media File Jacking
- Be wary of GIF files
- WhatsApp Web can be a huge problem
Let us look at this in more detail.
1] The possibility of Facebook reading messages
Yes, you’ve read that properly. It is possible Facebook could read your WhatsApp messages, but so far, nothing has been proven. According to a blog post from the folks at WhatsApp a while back, the use of end-to-end encryption could cause Facebook to read messages.
“We’ve rolled out end-to-end encryption. When you and the people you message are using the latest version of WhatsApp, your messages are encrypted by default, which means you’re the only people who can read them. Even as we coordinate more with Facebook in the months ahead, your encrypted messages stay private and no one else can read them. Not WhatsApp, not Facebook, nor anyone else,” according to a WhatsApp blog post.
Its quite strange, but that is the reality of the situation right now. Now, this is more of an issue with security than anything else, but it does need mentioning.
2] Look out for Media File Jacking
This one is interesting because it takes advantage of how apps receive media, and that goes for both WhatsApp and Telegram because they are vulnerable.
From what we’ve come to understand, the attack starts off by automatically installing a malware app on your device. The app will then monitor incoming files for WhatsApp and Telegram, and when that happens, it will remove the incoming files and replace them with something nefarious, or a fake file if you will.
Users of both platforms could fall victim to spams and scams if they are not well educated on the matter.
So, how do we fix this problem? Well, we disabling the Save to Gallery feature in WhatsApp to be on the safe side. As for Telegram, well, we cannot help you on that end.
As it stands, for better protection, the developers of WhatsApp and Telegram are required to fix this problem.
3] Be wary of GIF files
GIFs are great, but with the right tools, an attacker can transform a GIF into a dangerous weapon. You see, since a GIG uses multiple encoded frames, hackers can install code within the image. We also understand that hackers can take advantage of the way WhatsApp processes its images whenever users open the Gallery section to view content.
If a situation arises where a hacker could send a GIF image to a user, that photo could compromise the entire chat history.
4] WhatsApp Web can be a huge problem
Many users around the world take advantage of what WhatsApp Web has to offer because it makes it easier to connect with friends and family when around the computer. There is no need to reach for their smartphone when a message comes in, just reply from WhatsApp Web.
Unfortunately, things are not as peachy as they seem. Here’s the thing, if a user is not too versed on WhatsApp Web or they’ve never used it before, it would be easy for a third-party to activate the service on their computer using the victim’s smartphone.
When this is done, the culprit will have access to the entire chat history, which includes images and videos. Is it possible to avoid this problem? Well, the answer to that is a resounding yes.
Users can tell if WhatsApp web is active on their device if they swipe their finger down from the top of the screen. They should see a note that states, WhatsApp Web is currently active. Not only that, it is possible to tell how many devices are connected to WhatsApp Web, but the greatest feature is the option to logout from one or all of them.
