Pahang MB’s WhatsApp hacked
KUANTAN: Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail (pic) Monday confirmed that his WhatsApp application had been hacked after finding messages sent in a foreign language believed to be Spanish.

Wan Rosdy, in his police report, claimed that he only noticed the incident at 6am upon receiving a call from a staff who wanted to check on him after finding inappropriate words on his WhatsApp application.

“They also hacked my family’s WhatsApp group by changing its name before leaving the group, besides infiltrating nine other groups.

“I switched off the smartphone for five minutes before restarting it again and found that I could not log in into WhatsApp,” said Wan Rosdy who lodged the report at the Kuantan District Police Headquarters.
