WhatsApp could bring in double verification feature - what you need to know

WhatsApp has been a platform for many fraudsters to try and swindle money out of unsuspecting victims. 

According to WABetaInfo, a news and update website about WhatsApp, double verification codes may be used to try and prevent further attacks. 

This is because cyber attackers often try and use people's WhatsApp accounts with a single verification code at the moment. 

They do this by pretending to be someone official and in need of the code. 

Once with the code, they can log into your account, and by pretending to be you, they message your friends and family. 

What is double verification? 

Double verification is when you receive two verification codes, instead of one.
