Late last night, dozens of people noticed a sudden influx of WhatsApp verification texts from +17784004126. Those messages usually contain a short numeric code and claim to confirm a new device or account. If you didn’t request a code, don’t share it with anyone and delete the message. Block the number in your phone’s settings and report the spam to WhatsApp through the app’s support channel. Consider enabling two‑step verification in WhatsApp to add an extra PIN layer. Keep an eye on any unexpected login alerts and alert your carrier if the texts keep coming.
