WhatsApp has issued a warning after discovering that hundreds of people were tricked into downloading a fake version of the messaging app that contained spyware. The company says around 200 users were affected and has already taken steps to protect those accounts. According to WhatsApp, the fake app was allegedly created by the Italian spyware maker SIO. The latest warning also comes a year after a spyware incident involving US-Israeli surveillance tech maker Paragon Solutions. In that case, WhatsApp notified around 90 users, including journalists and pro-immigration activists, that they had been targeted.
