Episode Details

A sneaky browser flaw could’ve let malicious sites spy on your WhatsApp chats—thanks to a vulnerable Adobe Acrobat extension. No fault in WhatsApp, but the extension’s design let bad actors peek at your chat list, contacts, and message previews just by visiting a dodgy site. Adobe patched it in under a weekend (update: v26.5.2.3), and while no active attacks were spotted, it’s a wake-up call: even trusted extensions can be privacy risks. Irish users, especially, should log out of unknown devices and audit their browser extensions—WhatsApp’s deep roots in Dublin make this extra relevant.
