It started with this post....

But certain people believe it to be true.

But then some people claimed that their groups were being taken over by certain individuals in South Africa by just posting a code...

Another Example.....

Start a group with a friend and test it then?

 

[Fulcrum29]

Start a new group and test the code, as simple as that, really.

It could also be admins covering up their own negligence.

Now personally I believe it is not possible to execute code from within WhatsApp.
Especially code that is so short.

Personally I think that what is happening here is that these people are falling prey to a different type of Scam...

Namelly, the typical old WhatsApp SMS scam....

Beware of WhatsApp Hacking Scam

A phone-hacking scam has been making its way around many Whatsapp groups in the past few days, in which hackers can access your entire Whatsapp account.

But I'm not really very good at coding, so I might be doing something wrong.

Why do you need to be good at coding? Copy and paste.

This 'code', *2767*3855# is supposedly the old admin input used to reset Android.

No, the code needs to be customised according to the cell number of the current admin of whichever group you are trying to hack apparently...

why do people fall for these WA tricks?
if it really was that simple, do you think meta would let it exist out in the wild?

meta is stupid, but not that stupid to let people take over chats that easily.

People are attracted to sensationalist topics - "i hacked whatsapp" is a common one.

Lol. Never forget: "WhatsApp group chats can be found on Google"

WhatsApp group chats can be found on Google and could be less private than people realise

Users are warned to be aware of what is happening in their groups

There was a code a few years ago to completely end groups and even admin would get kicked off.
