To carry out the scam, you must have the cell phone of the person whose messages will be monitored. That is, it is not possible to clone whataps from a distance with just the telephone number, which indicates, as a security measure, attention to suspicious approaches on cell phones. That's because whataps cloning apps work by reading a QR Code, which will be scanned on the victim's smartphone, following the same login procedure on whataps Web.
After reading the code, cloning apps mirror the victim's conversations on the attacker's cell phone. It is worth remembering that applications of this type are of dubious origin and can open security holes in those who want to invade third-party whataps.
Although the way these tools work is similar to that of whataps Web, the user does not receive any notification alerting about the clone. Thus, the victim continues chatting normally, without suspecting that someone is watching the messages. The browser version of the messenger, however, informs the number of active sessions in the account.
Another way to clone whataps is from the verification code sent by the messenger itself. In this type of coup, criminals contact the victims by the cell phone number available on sales sites such as OLX and Zap Imóveis. In the message, they inform that there are complaints regarding the customer's contact and ask the person to confirm their identity, providing the code that will be sent by SMS. When the victim provides the combination that arrives at the device, and the scammers manage to activate whataps on a new device and clone the account.
