Surfing the network in a malicious way, there is a domain that would put at risk whatsapp users who seldom open the link.
Reddi.com affirmed this Tuesday in a press conference that many unsuspecting users of whatsapp, could be harmed and attacked by a malicious model with great resemblance to that of large corporations.
The malicious agent was discovered as "whhatsapp" Reddit.com suggests that although the real domain is "http://xn-80aa2cah8a7f73b.com/" the search engine will visualize it as whhatsapp
If it were the case that any user, open the link from your cell phone, the user would go directly to a platform that offers supposed changes to whatsapp. On the other hand, if the user enters the platform from the computer. I would take it directly to http: //blackwhats.site/ where the user would try to activate updates and clicking on them would get into groups which translates to the infection of many more users. And it will create a malicious chain that will take you to various links and several groups. Finally, it will tell you that it is only available for the web version, and install a chrome tool that does not exist.
The company G Data Software reported in an article of its platform that last year an approximate of 7.41 million new malware was registered, resulting in 1.15 million more than in the previous record.
