Who Leaked My Number? WhatsApp Message from +91 Raises Major Privacy Issues

I recently received a WhatsApp message from a number with the +91 country code. After checking online, I confirmed that this code belongs to India—a country with which I have no personal or business connections. This unexpected message was highly unsettling and raised serious concerns about my privacy and security.

I immediately blocked the sender, but I am extremely frustrated and demand an explanation. How did my phone number end up in the hands of an unknown contact? If my account has been compromised, my phone number misused without my permission, or any of my personal data (messages, photos, etc.) accessed, I hold WhatsApp fully responsible. I am also deeply concerned about the potential for financial and emotional harm. If my number is exploited for fraudulent activities such as unauthorized purchases, company registration, or debt in my name, I will not accept any liability.

WhatsApp must act immediately to investigate this issue, secure user data, and prevent unauthorized access. I expect a prompt and transparent response addressing this serious breach!
