Fake WhatsApp Website Stealing Login Info

A fake website is pretending to be WhatsApp to trick people into handing over their account details. Children and teens who use WhatsApp could be targeted through shared links.

What to do: Warn your children never to click links claiming to be WhatsApp login pages — the real WhatsApp never asks you to sign in through a random website.

What this means for your family

If your kids use WhatsApp, they could receive links to fake login pages that look real but steal their passwords. Remind them the actual WhatsApp app never asks you to log in through a website — if a link says otherwise, it's a scam. Stick to logging in only through the official app.
