WhatsApp has a big security issue right now, and it doesn't seem to be doing much about it. The app has seen its fair share of problems lately, including a mass exodus from the platform after it announced its new privacy policy requiring accounts to be connected to Facebook. It turns out that privacy isn't the only problem WhatsApp has to deal with, not that a huge security flaw has been discovered. A pair of researchers have uncovered a flaw (via Forbes) that allows attackers to lock anyone out of their WhatsApp account with just their phone number. It works because upon installing the app, the app will ask for a phone number. The attacker can input any number, which will then receive a confirmation text. If your number is at the receiving end of this, you'll notice seemingly unprompted verification texts from WhatsApp that you can't do anything about. And after too many verification attempts, further attempts to log in will be blocked for 12 hours. That shouldn't affect you since you're already logged in, but the real problem comes next. From there, the attacker can send an email to WhatsApp support asking to deactivate the number due to…
