According to him, this is possible thanks to a security issue in WhatsApp that was revealed by the company itself last week. Durov describes the vulnerability: “All a hacker who wants to take control of your phone has to do is send you a malicious video or start a video call with you on WhatsApp.” he explains.

Although WhatsApp claims that the application has fixed the bug in versions v2.22.16.12 for Android and v2.22.15.9 for iOS, according to Durov, one should not rely on it too much. Because similar vulnerabilities were found in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, and before 2016, there was not even encryption in the WhatsApp application, he says.
