Suspicion of WhatsApp account being hacked – Suspicious APK file in the name of a viral video

A person known to me sent a 5.6 MB APK file named "viral video file.apk" from their WhatsApp number. Along with it was a message saying, "Do you recognize this? Its video has gone viral." Seeing such a message, I suspected that someone might have gained unauthorized access to that person's WhatsApp account and was using it to send suspicious APK files to others. Being cautious, I asked that person, "Who are you, brother?" and then blocked that number. Everyone should be careful. If you suddenly receive an APK file named viral video from a known person's WhatsApp, do not download or install it without confirmation. Call that person through another medium to verify. Such files can be dangerous for your phone's security and personal data. Stay alert to such messages and report suspicious numbers. Note: There is no confirmation that the WhatsApp account was hacked in this case, but due to the suspicious APK file being sent, caution is necessary.
