UAE warned about zero-day WhatsApp attacks
The UAE Cybersecurity Council warned about a “zero-day” WhatsApp hack, which basically means hackers can exploit a flaw before it’s even fixed. One call from an unknown number could be enough for them to access your photos, chats, and account info — and you don’t even have to pick up. Stay alert, because scams like this are getting wild.
