A few days ago, Bloomberg wrote an article that spoke about hacks that could actually alter chats after altering the identity of the sender. According to Bloomberg:

> One uses the “quote” feature in a group conversation to change the appearance of the identity of a sender. Another lets a hacker change the text of someone else’s reply.

This is just one of the hacks that can actually alter your chats and that could be detrimental on all levels. A Nigerian blog has claimed that another hack which allows a person to send a private message to another group participant disguised as a public message to all, so when the targeted individual responded, it was visible to everyone in the conversation hit Nigeria a few weeks ago. According to Tech Point Africa:

Calls: 0772464000

> Ayodele (not his real name), one of the affected WhatsApp users, confirmed that his phone number was changed and he was automatically removed from a WhatsApp group he belongs to. The supposed hacker then sent messages to the group about an investment that guarantees the investor receiving double of the amount invested within 30 minutes.

> Several people the called to ask if Ayodele was responsible for sending messages about investing in a scheme on a WhatsApp group. This has been the experience of some Nigerian WhatsApp users in the past few weeks.
