pink whatsapp

WhatsApp Pink is essentially malware or a malicious computer program that intends to hijack its target system. The virus gets its name from the alias under which it is being spread on WhatsApp groups. The carefully articulated message containing the virus promises the user to install a Pink-themed WhatsApp on their phone upon clicking a link. The message also contains images showing chats from a pink-coloured WhatsApp. Needless to say, the photos are as fake as the claims. The nefarious message also contains a link to an APK download. Users are asked to click on the link in order to download the Pink-themed WhatsApp. Any user clicking on the link is redirected to an APK download. This downloaded file is the real virus hidden in disguise. Since the users are eager to install the WhatsApp package, they do not realise that they are being duped into downloading a virus. They, hence, readily give the permissions that the package asks for on the smartphone. As cybersecurity expert Rajshekhar Rajaharia explains in his tweet, the downloaded virus then gains complete access over the device, risking data loss or hijack by threat perpetrators.
