Discovered a new trick to spy on WhatsApp chat messages in seconds and without special codes. Stealing messages is really simple. Let’s see how to do it and how to defend yourself. The procedure works on any type of telephone. Also, for iPhone users, we will see how Siri can help us overcome the password problem that locks the phone.

The subject of the privacy of our personal information is always at the fore. The world is increasingly connected and interconnected. Thousands of messages, emails and information of all kinds travel at supersonic speed across the “sea” of the web. Everything is within everyone’s reach, even those sensitive data that we would never want to fall into the wrong hands. Personal photos, videos, credit card security codes, messages… Our “secrets” are increasingly at risk. WhatsApp has always tried to secure its users but now this simple procedure has come up that allows you to spy on WhatsApp in seconds on any phone.

To reveal it and to explain how to do it is the computer expert Haseeb Ahmad Ayazi , who in his Anglo-Saxon blog explained how to do it by adding a demonstration video (in English, which you can find below).

Getting another contact’s conversations is surprisingly simple.

All you need is :

– A phone on which to install WhatsApp

– The victim’s phone number

– Access to the victim’s phone (for only 5 minutes)

Having recovered the “tools”, let’s move on to the procedure:

NB This trick does not concern a WhatsApp vulnerability, but rather it concerns the way in which WhatsApp was designed and the account configuration mechanisms. Also, we remind you that with we are not encouraging users to spy on WhatsApp, but the purpose of publishing this article is to warn and remind our readers that you should be very careful in lending your mobile phone and not leaving it unattended for long. periods, especially if there are strangers around.

The trick allows you to gain full control of the victim’s WhatsApp in no time and the most amazing part is that it works independently on all mobile platforms including Android, Windows and Apple’s iOS.

Below are the steps to spy on WhatsApp conversations on any smartphone:

1. Start by creating a WhatsApp account on a new mobile phone using the victim’s phone number.

2. During the installation process, WhatsApp will call the victim’s phone number and provide a PIN code which must be entered on the other phone for account authentication.

3. If you already have access to the victim’s phone, you can simply answer the call and grab the code effortlessly. Even if the victim has the screen lock activated on the phone, it is possible to receive the phone call to get the secret PIN (without unlocking).

4. At this point, just install WhatsApp with the victim’s phone number and authentication code and that’s it! You now have access to all of that user’s conversations.

However, there is another step to continue spying on that account over time. After hacking it with this trick, just activate WhatsApp Web on your pc. At this point we can re-set WhatsApp with your phone number and continue spying on your PC. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you close your browser you will also lose your connection to the app.

What if I don’t know your phone number? Siri helps us

Siri – Apple’s virtual assistant that guides you through the iOS world – seems to have opened a huge flaw in the system that allows access to another person’s personal information.

How? Is our virtual assistant, who is supposed to help us manage the phone, cheating on us? Well yes. Siri is also Apple’s ” virtual traitor “.

This trick allows you to overcome one of the problems reported by a user in the article on WhatsApp Mac Spoofing technique . As you can read in the comments box at the bottom of the page, the user complained that the Mac Spoofing technique does not always work because, when we want to steal conversations on WhatsApp, the phone of the person we want to spy on is usually password protected and therefore it does not allow access for those few seconds it takes to “sneak in”.

Good! The problem is overcome thanks to Siri , Apple’s virtual traitor. Thanks to the voice command, in fact, it is possible to access some information contained in the phone without unlocking it and without knowing the password. This allows you to get to WhatsApp and start sending and receiving messages on behalf of another person, as well as reading their old chats and seeing their photos, even if the victim’s phone is password protected.

As Lupin’s best ally, Siri provides information that we may not know but which is essential for spying on WhatsApp messages.

The central point of this technique to spy on messages is that thanks to Siri you can know the phone number of the “victim” even if we do not know it and cannot access his address book because it is locked by a password.

In fact, just ask Siri: “What is my number?” and she will respond with the victim’s phone number. At this point, just configure another Whatsapp app on another phone. Wait for the call with the code and use this data as described in the 4 steps above.

Simple, right? Here is the demonstration video made by the discoverer of this trick (here made on iPhone with Siri, but valid for any phone whose number is known):

How to defend yourself?

The security of our WhatsApp account is always at risk. In addition to the general guidelines that allow you to stay almost totally safe, to make sure that our information does not end up in the wrong hands, it is best to never leave your phone unattended. The speech is even more valid for those who own an iPhone. Not even the password, as we have seen, can guarantee total protection, unless you decide to disable Siri.
