Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky just exposed a massive malware campaign hitting WhatsApp Desktop users globally. Hackers are hijacking accounts to send deceptive, localized business documents like fake invoices. Once opened, these malicious scripts install remote monitoring software, granting attackers total system control. Protect your data: never click suspicious files from contacts, even if you know them. Stay vigilant and stay secure.
