GhostPairing Scam: WhatsApp Hacked Without Password or SIM Theft!

  • GhostPairing is a new WhatsApp scam exploiting the device-linking feature through social engineering, not traditional hacking.
  • Hackers trick users into linking a malicious device by sending a fake link from a known contact, leading to a deceptive 'verification' page.
  • Users unknowingly enter a WhatsApp pairing code on a fake site, granting attackers full access to their WhatsApp Web, including messages and media.
  • The victim's phone remains functional, making the hack difficult to detect, and the scam spreads rapidly via trusted contacts.
  • Protect yourself by regularly checking linked devices, enabling two-step verification, and being wary of suspicious links or pairing code requests.

Why It Matters: GhostPairing exploits human trust via legitimate features; stay vigilant to protect your WhatsApp.
