Attackers may use social hacking to hack into your WhatsApp account: Report

WhatsApp is arguably the most popular instant messaging platform in the world right now. So obviously, it makes a pretty juicy target for hackers. According to new reports, it seems that attackers may use ‘social hacking’ to gain access to a user’s WhatsApp account.

Social hacking works by using an already hacked account to gain the trust of a target by masquerading as their friend or family member. In this case, reports suggest that attackers are using pre-hacked Facebook or Instagram accounts to get in touch with any connected accounts. They then pretend to be having problems logging into their accounts and later try and trick the victim into sharing their WhatsApp security verification code. This technique would then give the attacker access to the victims WhatsApp, and then the cycle of social hacking could then begin anew with the victim's contacts. 

The best way to stay safe from such hackers is to never share any verification codes or any other personal information with anyone online, regardless of how close you may be with the individual. Further, ensure that you have enabled two-step verification for all possible accounts, not only WhatsApp. You should also add an email address in case you would need to retrieve your account. Further, if your WhatsApp account has been compromised, then there are ways you can retrieve it. In fact, WhatsApp has also detailed the same on a separate help page that you can check out here.

WhatsApp isn’t the only platform that is allegedly under attack from hackers. Recent reports suggest that the Houseparty app was said to be leaking data to attackers. As per reports, many users claimed that they were getting emails about someone trying to access their accounts after they had installed the app. You can learn more about that here.

Coronavirus effect: Uber launches UberMedic to help doctors and medical staff in India

As India enters the second week of lockdown, it looks like companies are now reaching out to medical professionals and such to help them keep our country safe. One of these companies is Uber. The company has just launched a delivery service for medical professionals and workers in India. Called UberMedic, the service allows a medical worker to book a cab to take them to their respective medical centres. 

Earlier, messages that Uber was suspending services in the country due to the lockdown were sent out.

With this in mind, Uber launched UberMedic catering specifically to medical professionals and workers. The service will be available 24/7 and the company is using its top-rated drivers who will all be wearing protective garb to prevent any infection, thus keeping the drivers safe. 

In a statement to the media, Pradeep Parameswaran, President, Under India, said, “In collaboration with a network of hospitals and by leveraging its technology, UberMedic is transporting frontline healthcare workers to medical facilities and other critical areas across India. Over the next few days, Uber will continue to provide healthcare authorities access to its wide network of driver partners and also share its prior experience of providing similar mobility solutions elsewhere in the world. Uber hopes the reliable and timely transportation of frontline medical workers will help contain the spread of COVID-19” 

With all that in mind, here is how medical workers and professionals can use the service. Hospitals and other healthcare institutions can call UberMedic on 0804685 2190 between 8 am and 8 pm if they want to use Uber’s services for their doctors and medical staff.
