Are Your Business Messaging Apps Being Exploited? (2026/673)

WhatsApp and LinkedIn aren't just for client conversations anymore.

Attackers are using them to compromise business accounts. Recent security research reveals sophisticated phishing campaigns exploiting instant messaging platforms that business owners rely on daily.

In this episode, Charly covers:

🛡️ The "ghost pairing" WhatsApp attack spreading globally and how it works without stealing passwords
