whatsapp doesn't rely on SMS protocols nor does it rely solely on phone numbers but is still being exploited quite often.
Instant-Messaging = Worthy target for exploits.
Just like web-browsers get exploited after years of patching.
- passerby1 5y ago>whatsapp doesn't rely on SMS protocols Wrong. Whatsapp relies on SMS as 2FA OTP.
- saagarjha 5y agoI don't think that is the context that the commenter was using when they said WhatsApp doesn't rely on SMS.
- CyberRage 5y agoWell that has nothing to do with the subject. the subject is zero-click exploits, this is not regarding authentication. The point of these apps is that I can get content(picture, message, video etc) to your local device and it get processed.
