There are a couple of things you can do on WhatsApp to make sure that your disclosed information will not benefit threat actors:
 Do not answer calls and text messages from unknown members. Block anyone who raises suspicion.
 Enable 2FA as soon as possible – head to WhatsApp Settings-Account and turn the feature on.
 Check that your profile information is not publicly visible. Go to Settings-Privacy and choose who can see your profile picture, “about” information, and other account details. Make sure you share those only with a small group of people.
 Don’t fall for scam support messages. Scammers offering their “help” by redirecting WhatsApp users to experts who allegedly can help get the hacked account back. The only way to recover a hacked account is by contacting official support.
