(MANEND NEWS): Chief executive (CEO) of the instant messaging application WhatsApp, Will Cathcart, has warned the users against using fake or modified versions of the application.
In a thread on Twitter, the CEO said, “Reminder to @WhatsApp users that downloading a fake or modified version of WhatsApp is never a good idea. These apps sound harmless but they may work around WhatsApp privacy and security guarantees.”
He added, “mobile phone malware is a pernicious threat that must be countered and the security community continues to develop new ways to prevent it from spreading.”
Will added, “If you see friends or family using a different form of WhatsApp please encourage them to only use WhatsApp from a trusted app store or our official website directly.”
