WhatsApp has reported that around 100 of its users, including journalists and activists, were possibly compromised by Graphite spyware, allegedly developed by the Israeli company Paragon Solutions. This attack is characterized as a 'zero-click' hack, meaning the victims need not click on any malicious link to be infected. WhatsApp has reached out to the affected individuals, though it has not revealed their identities or locations. Following the incident, WhatsApp has taken legal steps against Paragon and emphasizes the necessity for accountability for spyware companies.
WhatsApp's recent claims indicate that nearly 100 journalists and activists potentially fell victim to a zero-click spyware attack, raising serious privacy concerns.
The attack, attributed to Graphite spyware linked to Paragon Solutions, showcases how spyware can gain total control of infected devices without user interaction.
