Expert Opinion
Just after midnight, phones started ringing with a voice‑less Spanish prompt followed by a WhatsApp verification code. The pattern matches a spam call that hijacks the SMS gateway to deliver counterfeit codes, then hangs up to trick users into resetting accounts. If you receive a code you didn’t request, delete the message, block the number, and never share the code. Enable two‑factor authentication within the app, but use the built‑in authenticator rather than SMS. Report the number to your carrier and to the platform’s abuse center. Stay skeptical of any unsolicited verification request and keep your contact list clean.
