What are the two ways to clone WhatsApp?

Understand how different types of procedures work to clone a cell phone.

First form of cloning

Initially, you need to have the victim's cell phone. Many people believe that cloning can be done with just the phone number. This is a myth.

The truth is that applications that can clone WhatsApp scan the device through a QR Code. For better understanding, it works the same as the process for logging in to WhatsApp Web.

It is worth noting that even though the procedure is the same as logging in via WhatsApp Web, the victim does not receive any type of alert or notification.

After reading the QR Code, the conversations from the hacked cell phone are copied to the attacker's cell phone.

It is important to note that these cloning applications do not have good provenance and they can copy your data and messages if you are thinking of carrying out this type of procedure.

Second form of cloning

Another very common form of cloning works by receiving a verification code on your WhatsApp.

Who advertises products for sale through OLX or Zap Imóveis, for example, may be subject to this type of situation.

It works like this: The attackers contact the victims, informing them that there are many customer complaints and ask the sellers, in this case the victims, to confirm their identity using the verification code sent by the WhatsApp.

From the moment the victim confirms their data, the attackers are able to access the application and clone the account, causing major problems.
