WhatsApp Security Concern Over Unsolicited Message from +27 (South Africa)

On December 7, 2024, I received an unsolicited message on WhatsApp from a number with the country code +27, which I later discovered belongs to South Africa. The message simply said "Hi." I have no personal or commercial connections to this country, and this unexpected communication has caused significant discomfort.

I immediately blocked the sender, but I am deeply concerned about the security of my personal information. I suspect that my account or phone number may have been compromised. Should any unauthorized use of my data occur—such as account breaches, identity theft, unauthorized transactions, or any liabilities in my name—I hold WhatsApp fully responsible.

I request WhatsApp to thoroughly investigate this matter, ensure my account’s security, and provide reassurances that my information remains protected.
