Expert fears new WhatsApp feature can expose users to hacking

The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that the new WhatsApp feature enables users to operate their accounts on four different devices.

Awe told NAN in an interview in Lagos on Saturday that having multiple devices linked to a single account gave hackers more opportunities to access personal data or take over the account.

He, however, noted that WhatsApp had implemented several security measures to protect against such threats, including end-to-end encryption and remote device management.
