WhatsApp Vulnerability Fixed
WhatsApp fixed a devastating vulnerability that allowed someone to remotely hack a phone by initiating a WhatsApp voice call. The recipient didn’t even have to answer the call.
The Israeli cyber-arms manufacturer NSO Group is believed to be behind the exploit, but of course there is no definitive proof.
If you use WhatsApp, update your app immediately.

… and if you don’t need audio and video and all the other geegaws that added that attack surface to Whatsapp, maybe you should switch to something that doesn’t have them.
Something decentralized might be a good idea.
