Time to update whatsapp? - WhatsApp has patched a vulnerability it its smartphone code that could have been exploited by miscreants to crash victims' chat app simply by placing a call.

"This issue can occur when a WhatsApp user accepts a call from a malicious peer," Silvanovich explained. "It affects both the Android and iPhone clients."

The bad news –  is that Google unsealed the bug details before the 90 days were up because it thought a patch was readily available.
