🚨 WhatsApp Security Alert

WhatsApp has recently introduced a new security feature called Strict Account Settings to protect users against advanced cyber attacks and spyware.

What’s the threat?
Hackers have been exploiting malicious media files in group chats. Simply being added to a group could expose you to spyware hidden in photos, videos, or documents—even without clicking anything.

🔒 How Strict Account Settings Protect You

Blocks media and attachments from unknown senders
Silences calls from unknown numbers
Disables link previews to prevent malicious links
Automatically enables two-step verification and security notifications

✅ What You Should Do

Open WhatsApp and go to Settings > Privacy > Advanced.
Enable Strict Account Settings.
Turn on Two-Step Verification for extra protection.

By enabling this mode, you trade a bit of convenience for much stronger protection—especially important for journalists, public figures, or anyone at risk of targeted attacks.
