In a heartwarming twist of fate, unsuspecting WhatsApp users have discovered newfound international fame, thanks to a legion of cyber admirers. Dubbed ‘HackOnChat’, this global recognition campaign is the brainchild of ambitious cyber romantics who use the art of digital wooing to connect with users on a deeply personal level—namely, by impersonating them.

While CTM360 bravely sounds the alarm, notifying users of the romanticized overtures from their anonymous suitors, many are left wondering whether their accounts were chosen for their engaging emoji use or simply because hacking a calculator wasn’t on the cards.

This masterpiece in digital courtship employs the timeless act of social engineering, where hackers whisper sweet nothings through deceptive authentication portals and lure users into clicking malicious URLs laden with promise. In an age where relationships often start in the DMs, who knew that one’s account could become the belle of the cyber ball?
