Introduction to WhatsApp hacked in may 2019 One of the most widely used messaging services, WhatsApp, suffered a serious security breach in May 2019 that led to user accounts being hijacked. With over 1.5 billion users at the time and being owned by Facebook, WhatsApp was a popular target for hackers. The hack made use of a flaw in WhatsApp's voice call feature, which let attackers install spyware on customers' handsets. The malicious code was created to take advantage of a weakness in the end-to-end encryption used by the app to make sure that only the sender and recipient can see the content of their communications. WhatsApp addressed the issue almost away and released a patch to shield users from further misuse. Users were also urged to update their apps to the most recent version to make sure they are safe.

PAPER SUMMARY As businesses increasingly rely on cloud computing for storage, processing, and application deployment, cloud security is becoming a crucial concern in today's digital economy. Although cloud computing has many advantages, it also poses a special set of security problems and difficulties that must be resolved. A thorough and multi-layered approach is necessary for cloud security. To protect the privacy, integrity, and accessibility of data and applications in the cloud, a variety of technical controls, strong rules and processes, staff training and awareness, and ongoing monitoring are used. Organisations may take use of cloud computing's advantages while reducing potential security threats by being aware of and addressing these challenges.
