ISLAMABAD: Hackers have attacked WhatsApp, the most popular social media messenger app in Pakistan. Hackers send code to users and then the person's account is hacked. 

According to reports, hackers who hacked WhatsApp have adopted a new method this time, attempts are being made to hack WhatsApp accounts. 

For this, the hackers send a message to the users on WhatsApp from one number, in which it is said that the 6 digit SMS code has been sent to your number by mistake.

Hackers ask the user to return the code written on this SMS to the same number. Hackers also give other numbers for this purpose. But as soon as your message is sent, your WhatsApp gets hacked. 

There have been many incidents of WhatsApp across Pakistan so far. Technical experts say that if you are asked for a message or code in the name of a friend or acquaintance, do not reply at all because if you give a code to someone on the message, your WhatsApp and all the data will be hacked. 

It should be noted that WhatsApp has been hacked several times before. WhatsApp accounts were also hacked in December last year, on which the PTA had contacted the WhatsApp management. And asked for details of Pakistani users so that their accounts could be secured. 

Accounts of Pakistani WhatsApp users were also hacked in February. The PTA also had to issue a message.
