And programs can have bugs or weaknesses that give would-be hackers a foothold.For instance, WhatsApp developers found a flaw earlier this year that made the app vulnerable to malware. Attackers could potentially install malicious software onto WhatsApp users' phones remotely during video calls.Fortunately, they issued an update with
