The company behind WhatsApp Messenger is taking action against the developers of a library of functions for using the WhatsApp service via a PC. The developers have responded by removing the source code from the web. Attackers can compromise other users’ accounts with relative ease, and send and receive messages from another user’s account. The only means of protection at present is to completely uninstall the app. Users are advised against using the service as it is quite possible data allowing permanent access to such an account could fall into the wrong hands.”]
