MoneyHero has launched a group-wide artificial intelligence transformation, called Project Odyssey, to boost revenues by end-2025. Alongside this strategy, the company also deployed its AI-powered Car Insurance SaverBot Beta on WhatsApp in Singapore. “MoneyHero’s top-line revenue grew by more than 20% quarter-on-quarter from Q1 to Q2 2025, driven by higher conversions across credit card, personal loan and insurance verticals,” it said in a press release. “With that acceleration, the Company remains on track to achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA and generate free cash flow in the latter part of 2025, supported by a solid balance sheet with approximately $30m in cash and cash equivalents as of 30 June 2025,” it added. MoneyHero said Project Odyssey will integrate AI into its content creation, marketing, customer service and product-matching workflows to raise productivity and improve profitability.  Rohith Murthy, Chief Executive Officer of MoneyHero Group, noted that conversational platforms fit well with Southeast Asian markets where mobile and messaging app usage dominates.  The Philippines, MoneyHero’s largest market by members, accounts for 68% of its total membership, where WhatsApp and similar apps are common channels for financial services

Navigation for News Categories WhatsApp is a messaging service owned by Meta. Photo: 123rf Lawyers say elderly couples married for more than 50 years and applying for visas are being asked to prove their relationship is real with WhatsApp chats. They want reform of partnership visas and a different approach to what evidence is requested by Immigration New Zealand (INZ). "They are asking for chat messages between 70-year-olds," said immigration lawyer Pooja Sundar. "There's no balance there, and there's no actual holistic assessment of that individual application. And especially when you're asked to provide such evidence for those who are in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and have lived together for the last 60 years of their lives. "They are asked, 'Why is there no evidence of chat logs or messages or call logs between the two of you? If it's genuine and stable relationship evidence, show me texts that you send each other.' They don't send each other texts, they see each other every day. It's a relationship. They're living the relationship." Partnership visa criteria prioritised proofs such as shared assets and joint utility bills, which was also not possible for some applicants. "It's a thought process that is both

Quick Summary OpenAI has announced that Meta is dropping ChatGPT support on WhatsApp early next year. The support will end on 15 January 2026, but if you link your ChatGPT account to WhatsApp, you can save your conversation history. Messaging app WhatsApp is well-known for adding a wealth of features regularly. Rarely a few months go by without some neat new trick being added to the range of things you can do beyond messaging your friends. Sometimes, that's things like adding a chat theme, other times it is the ability to lock WhatsApp chats with a special code. How to save your ChatGPT WhatsApp chats As reported by 9to5Mac, Chat GPT will no longer be supported on WhatsApp from January.

During the Pwn2Own Ireland 2025 hacking competition, held in Cork from October 21 to 23, cybersecurity researchers from Team Z3 withdrew their planned demonstration of a zero-click remote code execution vulnerability in WhatsApp, opting instead to report it privately to Meta through a coordinated disclosure.​ The withdrawal surprised attendees and fellow competitors, as the exploit could have earned Team Z3 the largest single payout in Pwn2Own history with a record-breaking $1 million bounty. This substantial reward reflected the critical nature of zero-click vulnerabilities in an application used by three billion people worldwide.​ Private Disclosure Chosen Over Public Demonstration According to the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), which organizes Pwn2Own, Team Z3 determined their research wasn’t ready for a live public demonstration. Despite the withdrawal, ZDI emphasized the positive outcome of this decision, stating that their analysts would conduct initial assessments before transferring the findings to Meta’s engineering team.​ This approach ensures a structured response to the vulnerability while protecting WhatsApp’s massive user base from potential exploitation. The private disclosure aligns with ethical hacking standards that prioritize user safety over public spectacle. Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company and a co-sponsor of Pwn2Own Ireland alongside Synology and QNAP, expressed continued interest in Team Z3’s

A total of $1,024,750 has been paid out at the Pwn2Own Ireland 2025 hacking contest organized by Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), but the event has been overshadowed by the last-minute withdrawal of a researcher who was scheduled to demonstrate a WhatsApp exploit worth $1 million.  The highest reward at Pwn2Own Ireland 2025, $100,000, was paid out for an exploit chain targeting the QNAP Qhora-322 router and the QNAP TS-453E NAS device.  Two Samsung Galaxy S25 exploit chains were each rewarded with $50,000, and the same amount was earned for vulnerabilities in Synology ActiveProtect Appliance DP320 and the Sonos Era 300 smart speaker.  Participants received up to $40,000 for hacking Ubiquiti cameras, QNAP and Synology NAS devices, Lexmark and Canon printers, and smart home systems such as Phillips Hue Bridge, Amazon Smart Plug, and Home Automation Green. A total of 73 previously unknown vulnerabilities were disclosed at Pwn2Own Ireland 2025.  A researcher named Eugene (3ugen3) of Team Z3 was scheduled to demonstrate a $1 million zero-click remote code execution exploit against WhatsApp on Thursday.  However, the demonstration did not take place.

A U.S. court has ordered Israel’s NSO Group to stop targeting Meta’s WhatsApp messaging service. – File photo SAN FRANCISCO — Last week, a federal court in Northern California issued an injunction prohibiting the Israeli spyware company NSO Group from targeting and spying on users of WhatsApp, one of the world’s most widely used communication platforms, according to Reuters. However, the ruling by Judge Phyllis Hamilton significantly reduced the damages the Israeli company was ordered to pay Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp — from $167 million to $4 million. The judge said NSO’s conduct did not rise to the level of being “sufficiently egregious” to justify the larger financial penalty set earlier by a jury. In the 25-page decision, Judge Hamilton wrote that the court “concluded that the defendants’ conduct causes irreparable harm and, given there is no dispute over its continuation”, granted Meta’s request for an injunction to halt NSO Group’s spying operations against WhatsApp users. The ruling prevents NSO Group, the spyware manufacturer, from targeting WhatsApp and our users around the world ever again. — Will Cathcart, CEO of WhatsApp The injunction represents a major setback for NSO Group, which for years has faced accusations of facilitating human
