Ghost Session: The Zero-Click WhatsApp Takeover Nobody Saw Coming
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
iPhone users across iOS 16 are having their WhatsApp accounts hijacked...without clicking anything, without approving a login, and without any new device appearing in their Linked Devices list.
In this episode, we break down how the attack chain works, why iOS 16 is the specific target surface, what the broader shift of zero-click exploits into financially motivated crime actually means, and what you can and cannot do to protect yourself. If you or someone you know is on an unpatched iPhone, take a listen.
