WhatsApp will release a new update to improve user security and prevent fraud. With the update, more security features will be added and fraud attempts will be prevented. Here are the details of the new update…
Sim card theft can put users’ accounts at risk. However, thanks to new protection techniques, measures have been taken against these attacks. In this way, serious protection will be provided against Sim card theft and users’ accounts will be secured.
WHATSAPP ANNOUNCES NEW UPDATE
WhatsApp has taken a new measure to provide a more secure service against account fraud. Now, those who want to download the WhatsApp application to a new device or want to move their account to a different number will have to use the old device. In this way, account fraud will be prevented when a suspicious registration attempt is made.
In a statement made by WhatsApp officials, it was stated that the implementation of this criterion will protect against malware and help WhatsApp to provide a better service in cases where its security is compromised. Thus, the account will become more secure for users who change phones or use a different line.
With its new update, WhatsApp has been designed in such a way that only the original owner who used the account before can access it. In this way, access to WhatsApp accounts of unknown people will be blocked. However, if the account holder cannot access their old device, a one-time password can be requested. In this way, security vulnerabilities will be minimized.
TWO-FACTOR VERIFICATION
WhatsApp continues to improve security with a new feature that is known to be shared between only two people and end-to-end encrypted when contacts are connected. The encrypted verification process will be made even easier, automatically deciding whether the connection is secure or not when the page is accessed. These measures will help users use their accounts more securely.
WhatsApp officials recommend enabling META two-factor authentication and password backup to protect individual security. In this way, privacy violations will be reduced to a minimum.
