Researchers have collected personal data of 3.5 billion WhatsApp users

Researchers have announced they have discovered a vulnerability in WhatsApp that allowed them to collect data from over 3.5 billion users – they believe this could be the largest data breach in history.

They used the phone number search feature to perform a massive data mining operation: using a tool based on the Google libphonenumber library, they generated 63 billion phone numbers and scanned them at a rate of 7,000 per second.

To the researchers' surprise, WhatsApp did not block their IP addresses or accounts, nor did it apply any effective rate limits.
