Prologue




"WhatsApp Web goes well to use the messaging on the computer, but it is easy to spy on another person if you are logged in the browser with your mobile phone. Avoid this."  

The messaging application for excellence not only drag behind itself a huge popularity, a huge amount of controversy. Security, partnerships with Facebook... And a large number of users they see violating your privacy for couples, friends, family... that try to spy on their conversations.

Spy on WhatsApp is one of the most common. And it is because it is in this application where we turned over our side more intimate. The worst thing is that it is quite easy to gain access to the conversations of another person with WhatApp Web. The company added few months ago a notification when you use the session in another part, but can be overlooked.

1.- WhatsApp Web, a tool that is too quiet

WhatsApp Web


The messaging application does not have a full version for computers, but that bet by a kind of mirroring of the smartphone; which will be communicated with the computer. This is WhatsApp Web: you can simply pair the mobile with the browser so that the session is shared between both. Messages, contacts, groups, photos,... will All appear in the mobile and in the browser.

Anyone who has access to the mobile phone of the victim will be able to access their WhatsApps to only register the account in WhatsApp Web. What at first may seem complex, involves a process of no more than 10 seconds. It is enough that the victim is absent for a moment that the spy will open a tab of browser with WhatsApp Web, access to the QR of the account on the mobile and pair both devices.

WhatsApp is at this point a problem of privacy. Alerts you when it is actively using the session, but the notification disappears when the other person stops to read the messages by more that the session is still open. It is advisable to make the maximum possible impediments so that no one can read our messages. Especially if we suspect that someone close to you is interested in them.



2.- How to protect your account from WhatsApp so no one can spy on web

WhatsApp Web 2
We have already seen how just a simple oversight for anyone to register the QR WhatsApp with the browser. So the first thing is to avoid such blind spots and always go with the mobile above. In addition, it is very important that you protect your lock screen with the maximum security possible. Footprint if the mobile has reader and/or pin security. With another important aspect: our password security should not know anyone.

 The above should be pretty obvious, but I know from experience that these are aspects of the first that is overlooked. So let's increase the security: access to WhatsApp in two steps. This way the app will be prompted with a certain frequency a password to access the conversations. It will not prevent anyone from accessing the account because they don't always skip the checking, but adds more security.

Finally, we have to check what computers are logged in on WhatsApp Web. To do this we must do the following:

Go in the settings of your WhatsApp.
Go to WhatsApp Web.
Check the sessions that you have open and, when in doubt, calas.
If you had a session open when you have not used WhatsApp Web on your life, close it.
We must perform with a certain frequency these steps, and close sessions that have not opened. It is the only way to maintain control over one of the most insecure WhatsApp.
