On January 11, 2025, I received a message on WhatsApp from a number with the country code +234, which I discovered belongs to Nigeria. The message simply said "hello." I have no personal or business connections with this country, and receiving such messages is highly unsettling.
I immediately blocked the number and the message, but I am deeply concerned about the potential misuse of my personal information. I am worried about my account details being compromised, my phone number being used without consent, or any unauthorized access to my private messages, photos, or data.

I hold WhatsApp accountable for ensuring the security of my information. This incident has made me question the platform’s ability to safeguard its users. I urge WhatsApp to address this issue immediately and take stricter measures to prevent such breaches of privacy.
