Similar to the method mentioned above, the hacker can also spy on WhatsApp messages using Bluetooth. Many WhatsApp hacking apps are available on the internet that can easily hack into any device when Bluetooth is on. This method again follows the MAC spoofing method like the one mentioned above.

According to DoJ, Guerrero purchased the tools, including signal jammers, IMSI catchers, StingRays, wireless network interception tools, and WhatsApp messages hacking tech, from Italy and Israel. He sold them to clients in Mexico and the USA. Guerrero pleaded guilty to conspiracy to sell the abovementioned tools.


Moreover, he also used the tools to intercept calls of his rival residing in Mexico and South California. Guerrero used his company Elite by Carga to import surveillance tech and hacking tools from little-known firms in Israel, Italy, and other countries.


We thank Human Rights Watch, Internet Freedom Foundation, Committee to Protect Journalists, and others who helped bring to light these stories, but most importantly, the courageous survivors of the NSO hacking themselves.


A hoax that has been making the online rounds on WhatsApp since at least mid-2017 warns users of the encrypted messaging service that they are supposedly vulnerable to a piece of malicious software being distributed via a video called "Martinelli." The malware is said to be capable of hacking into a user's cell phone in under 10 seconds, wreaking irreparable damage:


This is a fraudulent attempt used by hackers to obtain sensitive information such as login details like usernames and passwords. Whatsapp phishing involves extracting the QR Code from Whatsapp Web then displaying it on a new page. If the victim scans the code using Whatsapp it will grab the credentials from the web client and save them in a file. You can use these credentials to log yourself in as the person who scanned the QR code. The phishing program particularly uses node.js and socket.io for the website and selenium responsible for scripting browsers that communicate with the Whatsapp web client. To begin with, the program starts at Http and a socket.io server. If a new client connects to socket.io, the application will request a selenium instance to start a new browser and connect to web.whatsapp.com. Afterward, it will fetch the QR code data and send it to the client via the web socket connection. The client javascript then shows the QR code to the user. When the QR code gets scanned Whatsapp will authenticate the selenium controlled browser and store some tokens in the local storage and document cookie. Data is extracted then saved into a text file.


Mobile phone hacking and monitoring allow you to fully keep track of every activity of the target device. You can easily see the details of every communication that is all calls and text messages (incoming, outgoing, deleted). In addition to this, one may view internet history activities as well as Whatsapp activities. In short, everything will easily be hacked and shared on the app control panel. A few examples of mobile spying apps include: Xyspy, TruthSpy, and Spybubble.


The Apple and WhatsApp suits against NSO allege violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a federal anti-hacking law. A bill proposed in Congress known as the Homeland and Cyber Threat (HACT) Act would insert language similar to the computer fraud law into the foreign immunity law.


According to a report by Cybernews, a hacker posted the numbers on a well-known hacking community forum on November 16, claiming that they were an up-to-date database of 487 million WhatsApp user mobile numbers.


In March 2019, de Becker wrote an article for The Daily Beast, stating that Bezos' and his "investigators and several experts concluded with high confidence that the Saudis had access to Bezos's phone, and gained private information".[10] de Becker also reported he had presented details of his investigation to law enforcement officials; furthermore, he said there was a "close relationship" between bin Salman and American Media CEO David Pecker.[3] He highlighted that AMI had attempted to have him publicly declare that the investigation into Bezos's phone found that AMI had not used "eavesdropping or hacking in their newsgathering process", and had demanded his declaration that AMI's story was not "influenced in any manner by external forces". Lastly, de Becker stated that it was "unclear" whether AMI knew of the alleged hack by the Saudis.[11]


The report stated that just "hours" after Bezos received the file from bin Salman, his phone began transmitting dramatically higher amounts of data, and that this continued for months.[15] The video in the file was not infected, but the downloader of the file could not be analyzed by investigators because it was encrypted by WhatsApp.[15] The report points to two pieces of circumstantial evidence: first, a November 2018 message from bin Salman to Bezos includes an image resembling the woman Bezos was having an affair with, despite the affair not being public knowledge at the time; second, a February 2019 text from bin Salman to Bezos urges Bezos not to believe everything, after Bezos was briefed on the phone regarding an Internet campaign against him conducted by Saudis.[4][15] The report states that investigators' belief that bin Salman's advisor, Saud al-Qahtani, obtained the hacking software.[4] The report does not link The National Enquirer to the hack.[4]


In March 2019, AMI released a statement responding to de Becker's column that the only source for their story on Bezos was Michael Sanchez, the brother of Bezos's girlfriend, and that there was "no involvement by any other third party whatsoever."[24] A year later, Michael Sanchez sued AMI, stating in court documents that when the National Enquirer first contacted him, they already had "raunchy text messages and nude selfies exchanged" by Bezos and Sanchez's sister. Michael Sanchez denied giving AMI explicit photos, and accused AMI of hacking Bezos's phone.[25]


The Guardian speculated in January 2020 that the hacking allegation would weaken bin Salman's ability to attract more Western investors to Saudi Arabia and lead to renewed scrutiny of the murder of Khashoggi and bin Salman's involvement.[3] The outlet also reported that Saudi experts believed that Bezos was hacked because of The Washington Post's coverage of Saudi Arabia. The coverage included Khashoggi's criticism of bin Salman.[3] One of those who spoke to The Guardian was Andrew Miller, a Middle East expert who served on the national security council under President Obama, who claimed that Bezos' targeting by the crown prince reflects the personality-centric situation of Saudi politics.[3]


United Nations special rapporteurs Agnès Callamard and David Kaye stated in January 2020 that the alleged hacking suggests that there was "an effort to influence, if not silence, the Washington Post's reporting on Saudi Arabia", with bin Salman possibly part of the operation.[16] They declared that the alleged hacking was relevant to the issue of whether bin Salman was involved in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, who worked for The Washington Post.[27]


"Charming Kitten," a hacking group with ties to the Iranian government, is now using LinkedIn and WhatsApp messages to contact potential victims in order to build trust and persuade them to visit a phishing page, according to security firm ClearSky.


Charming Kitten, also known as APT35, Phosphorous and Ajax, is one of Iran's top state-sponsored hacking groups. While the group's tactic of impersonating journalists is not new, ClearSky researchers say the latest campaigns are the first time the threat actors used mediums other than email or SMS to target their victims (see: Fraudsters Pose as Journalist in Phishing Campaign: Report).


In July, Charming Kitten accidentally exposed videos related to the group's hacking and training activities. These videos detailed the group's spear-phishing campaigns against U.S. Navy and State Department personnel (see: Iranian Hackers Accidentally Exposed Training Videos).


On Tuesday, WhatsApp sued NSO Group accusing it of helping government spies break into the phones of roughly 1,400 users across four continents in a hacking spree whose targets included diplomats, political dissidents, journalists and senior government officials.


The Facebook-owned software giant alleges that NSO Group built and sold a hacking platform that exploited a flaw in WhatsApp-owned servers to help clients hack into the cellphones of at least 1,400 users between April 29, 2019, and May 10, 2019. 2ff7e9595c
