Hi guys, I realised that my whatsapp account has been logged out from my phone this morning and I feel rather strange.

The next moment when I log in back, everybody was asking me whetehr I am okay? But from my Whatsapp, I never send anything.

My friends and family told me that I have sent them a virus-link/website to them during midnight.

The link is something like

SEMAK STATUS BANTUAN EWALLET MADANI 2025 SEKARANG!!

xxxxxxx-log1.com/info1

I am very caution with online scam, using iPhone and never install any suspicious apps or click into any scammer-link before. It just happened so suddenly when I fall asleep last night.  Unfortunately I forgot to add 2-FA into my Whatsapp account.

Anybody can advise how the hacker able to take control of my device?

This is what I am most afraid of, knowingly or unknowingly got something installed that cause security problem.

iPhone are supposed to be very secure but I think their main security relies on control of what apps you can install onto your phone.

Among Android, Samsung is probably the most secure but they work different via Secure Folder. I using Samsung primarily because of this feature. It is basically a sandbox with both hardware and software protection. Being a sandbox, it is "cut" off from other part of the unfortunately infected phone.

So good idea to find any other Android phone with such feature.

I never know for such feature like sandbox from Samsung. Really good to know, thanks for your sharing.

Do you know any feature that can enhance security on iPhone ecosystem?
No. I have never used iphone.

From what I can gather, for security, both iphone and Samsung are the best using different method. But at the end of the day, it is still up to the user.
