WhatsApp said on Friday that it had disrupted a hacking campaign that targeted around 90 users, including journalists and members of civil society. A WhatsApp spokesperson told TechCrunch that the campaign was linked to Paragon, an Israeli spyware maker that was acquired in December of last year by American private equity giant AE Industrial.

WhatsApp says that civil society workers and journalists on its platform were the targets of hacks by the Israeli spyware company Paragon Solutions.

By Raphael Satter WASHINGTON (Reuters) -An official with Meta's popular WhatsApp chat service said Israeli spyware company Paragon Solutions had targeted scores of its users, including journalists and members of civil society.

WhatsApp’s many features include View Once, so if you had an image or video that you wanted to share, but didn’t want hanging around, it would vanish after a single view. Only it turns out it wasn’t working quite as it should. Now, it seems it’s been fixed—but only with the latest update.

WhatsApp might soon expand its multi-account feature by enabling several phone numbers on the same iPhone device.
