About this tag
The whatsapp web tag brings together updates and security reporting about using WhatsApp in a browser or desktop environment. Recent coverage includes native one-to-one and group audio and video calling, call transfer, waiting rooms, and the ability to move calls between phones, tablets, browsers, and desktop clients as features roll out. The tag also covers Boss Scam warnings affecting Windows endpoints, where malicious ZIP files and hijacked WhatsApp Web sessions can support executive impersonation and fraudulent payment requests. These reports are especially relevant to enterprise IT, finance teams, and administrators responsible for endpoint security, payment authorization, and awareness of compromised messaging sessions.
