WhatsApp is currently not available for download from the App Store. The reason is unknown. The app, which for weeks at the top of the rankings of best selling apps stood, the first place are now ceded to Where's My Water . WhatsApp recently had negative publicity because it was easy for the status of other users just change. It was remarkable that this news is spread almost exclusively in the Netherlands and not in others. Removing the iPhone app solves the problem, however: the vulnerability can be found in the WhatsApp protocol and abuse was done via an external website (WhatsAppStatus.net), which was unrelated to the app.
Moreover, existing WhatsApp users still affected by the bug. To abuse had a malicious telephone number only to know the victim. WhatsApp when the IP number of the site blocked the hackers came back with the Windows tool WhatsApp Status Changer. WhatsApp for BlackBerry has just received an update , but that will have little to do with the disappearance of the iPhone app.
Update : The German site Macerkopf asked around and got a response from the developer to hear:
That is true. We are aware of this. Unfortunately we can not comment on this matter at this time any Further. Thanks.
