Popular messaging app WhatsApp has adviced its users to update their mobile operating system (OS) and apps following a suspected ‘spyware’ attack. Indian users will witness new updates in the next 24- 48 hours with a fix on the loophole that caused the spyware attack to gain ‘remote access’ by just making a WhatsApp Call.

As per global reports, the attacks are allegedly suspected to be from an Israeli firm. WhatsApp India spokesperson said, "Updating the app will protect against potential targeted threats designed to compromise information stored on mobile devices. We are constantly working alongside industry partners to provide the latest security enhancements to help protect our users."
