However, it has now been revealed that YoWhatsApp v2.22.11.75 grabs WhatsApp keys, allowing fraudsters to control user accounts.

Jake Moore, Global Cyber ​​ConsultantESET's website states:

“Fake apps appear on applications for years. And, unfortunately, it is not new to see an app that copies the original app to lure people with “extra features” that might convince users to go for it.

However, using this unofficial app can damage users' official accounts or even give fraudsters access to those accounts. Account hijacking and loss of sensitive or personal data is a worrying phenomenon as it leads to further targeted attacks.

It is strongly recommended to avoid alternative apps like this, but the youth who may be targeted by downloading these apps may not be aware of the dangers. It's even worse when they don't care about the risks, so awareness advice should be given with from other peers but also from platforms they frequent".
