YOGYAKARTA - Account hacking can be experienced by everyone, one of which is a WhatsApp account, which has often happened lately. Although the instant messaging application is equipped with an end-to-end encrypted system and two-step verification.

Therefore, users should be as careful as possible when receiving suspicious notifications. The reason is, this can be one of the tricks used by hackers to hack accounts on your cellphone such as WhatsApp.

However, if your WhatsApp account has already been hacked, users don't panic. You can restore your WhatsApp account and recover your personal data by reporting it to the help center.

If you don't know how to make a report to the WhatsApp help center, users can follow the steps that the VOI team has compiled below to get their account back.

Report Account Hacking Issues to WhatsApp Help Center

One way that you can do to restore your WhatsApp account is to make a hack report to the help center. To do so, users can send reports via email to the email [email protected].

In the email subject field write that your account was hacked. For example, you can write "My WhatsApp account got Hacked", and such.

In the report that you create, write down the timeline of your WhatsApp account being hacked, along with proof of screenshots, or screenshots of suspicious activity from your account, and the problems you've had for some time.

In addition, include the phone number you registered to create a WhatsApp account so that WhatsApp can find out your account and the problem you are experiencing.

After you make a report and send it, WhatsApp will temporarily deactivate your account after they receive your report.

WhatsApp will carry out a problem check, and immediately notify you if it is aware of the problem you are experiencing. You will be notified whether your account has been hacked or is experiencing other issues.

Apart from making a report to the WhatsApp help center, users can also restore a hacked account by reinstalling the WhatsApp application on their phone.

Users only need to uninstall the WhatsApp application on their cellphone then download it again. When you log in using your account and enter the OTP code into your number, the account linked to the other device will automatically log out or log out.

However, this method allows hackers to hack into your WhatsApp account again. Therefore, users should report it to the WhatsApp help center to make it more secure.
