Former public protector Thuli Madonsela has warned of WhatsApp ID theft after allegedly being scammed by a person who hijacked her friend's profile.“My friend and I lost thousands of rand to a scammer who hijacked the WhatsApp profile of a mutual friend. He was pretending to be that friend.
“If people can be forced to recuse themselves because of someone claiming to be dishonestly acting on their behalf with no evidence implicating them, our judges would be in trouble. Worse is people can hack others’ WhatsApp IDs as many of us have been scammed by people masquerading as friends or family.”
