Being one of the most popular online messaging platforms, WhatsApp Messenger remains a target of hoax and tricks of notorious hackers. After the recent WhatsApp without internet' hoax, the latest is the WhatsApp Gold'.

If a user downloads the app update, the app code infects the phone with a malware that could steal user data, track user activities and even get personal details stored in other apps on the phone.
Earlier, this scam was running under the name of WhatsApp Plus, where users got messages to upgrade to the "plus" version. But, WhatsApp learnt about it and started scanning for it on the phone. If the service now finds WhatsApp Plus on any device, it automatically bans the user from the chat network and requests them to uninstall this unauthorised version. It also suggests users to wait for 24 hours before downloading the original version from the Google Play store.
WhatsApp had earlier warned users against such scams. However, with a lot of not-so-tech-savvy users accessing WhatsApp, cyber criminals continue to come up with new exploits.
