WHATSAPP ALERT: ZERO-CLICK SPYWARE RISK

A recent investigation has revealed the use of advanced spyware (Paragon Graphite) that can compromise smartphones without clicking any link.

How the attack happens

  • You’re added to a WhatsApp group
  • A malicious PDF is sent
  • Auto-download installs spyware silently
  • Full access possible: messages, calls, location, camera & mic

This is called a Zero-Click Attack — no tap, no open, no permission needed.

Who was targeted?

Journalists, activists, aid workers across multiple countries.
