My friend had sent me a message saying “can you put your name in it and send it to 10 different people we’re trying to make the longest iMessage for the 2022 Guinness World Records. Put your name below (copy it) and send it to 10 people, Don’t be the one to break the chain!!” Idk if it was a scam because once I answered it they never responded and it was less then a minute after I sent it, idk if it was a virus or they actually wanted to do this

- Possible hack via WhatsAppAn hour or so ago, I received a regular text message on my iPhone from a sender using the ID name I had assigned to a friend in my WhatsApp contacts list. It said "Hi. A file's been sent to you. Tap the link below to download it." Then it showed this link: share.vodafone.com.I immediately contacted my friend in WhatsApp and told her that I thought she had been hacked. However, after doing some research online, I started to wonder if in fact, I was the one who had been hacked. I have WhatsApp on my phone, as well as the computer.I have searched online extensively and have not yet been able to find any mention of hacking WhatsApp to use iPhone messaging for a further hacking job.This sounds really convoluted, I know, but if anyone understands what is going on, I would deeply appreciate it if you could help me out. 9312
