WhatsApp virus! Beware of this fake message

A WhatsApp virus causes excitement in the network community. The culprit is a new feature many users have been looking forward to for a long time. Because WhatsApp has distributed the activation of the video feature over several days. Hackers have now taken advantage of the impatience of many app users to get a fake message circulating that they are supposed to unlock for video calling. The result: The unsuspecting user is made to click on a link that infects the smartphone with malware.

That happens when you tap the link

The fake message contains the following request:

"Introducing WhatsApp Video Calls! Invite your family and friends and? Www.whatsapp.com



Hey, now we can activate video calls by invitation! Here is your? // wd1.me/videochat

As soon as you click on the link, you will be asked to send the message to five friends and five groups. Allegedly it is checked if you are an active user or not. Only when the message has been shared five times, the next page loads. And that's where it gets dangerous for you!

So catch the WhatsApp virus

The smartphone begins to vibrate and you get the warning that the battery is seriously damaged by viruses. In the supposed "Google" message, the user is now advised to install software to remove the virus. A fake: Because this alleged software is the real virus!

What do I do with the WhatsApp message?

Who receives such a message via WhatsApp, should it delete the best immediately? or just ignore it. Because: For the new video calling function you do not need an invitation from friends. WhatsApp will gradually free you up for the feature, a simple update is completely sufficient. You have clicked on the link and you will see the "Google" virus message? Then it's best to delete your browser app cookies and all saved form data on your smartphone.
