This means that the platform is of great importance in the lives of millions or even billions of people. Against this background, it becomes even more frightening to realize how easily you can lose your account.
Jake Moore, a cybersecurity expert working for antivirus company ESET, posted a tweet in which he noticed a not-so-nice feature of WhatsApp.
It turns out that anyone can write an email to the creators of the messenger with the help of deactivating the account associated with the number they are calling. In this case, the person does not have to verify that the number belongs to them.
Thus, anyone can get your number, send it to the creators of WhatsApp in a special email and request deletion of your account on the messenger. And they will!
At such times, the question arises of how skilled the quality control department is on the project. And the most frustrating thing is that there is no solution yet to this potential problem.
