Think-Tank Cyberpeace Foundation said on Monday that China-based hackers are targeting WhatsApp through fake part-time jobs. The foundation also said that multiple links redirect to a common URL and each link uses different numbers to send a message.
The CyberPeace Foundation experts said that in all the part-time links, the same redirection and outgoing sources were generated. However, in one link, a different URL was found and one new IP address that belongs to one of China’s hosting company Alibaba Cloud. When the URL is manipulated, an error code is displayed in the Chinese language, the report said, adding that the domain names found during the investigation seem to have been registered in China.
