Careful! It is a virus that hacks your phone in 10 seconds. Introduction There was a time when we had to deny a series of messages that supposedly warned of something terrible: a virus sent by WhatsApp that would hack your cell phone in 10 seconds. After a long time, let's talk about a message of this nature. According to messages being spread on WhatsApp itself and also on other social networks, the newest virus would be hidden in alleged photos of the Chillán volcano. Read: > ## Ancelmo Gois wrote a text criticizing Eduardo Paes? We check _They will send some photos of the Chillán Volcano via Whatsapp. The file is calls Eruption in Chillán Chile, don't open it or see it, it invades your phone in 10 seconds and cannot be interrupted in any way. Pass the information for your family and friends. DO NOT OPEN. They also said this on TV_ Analysis As it is a message that mainly talks about WhatsApp, the message spread primarily on the messaging app. Although, we also saw the story circulate through social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and others. Just like a “good rumor”, the message has some characteristics such as the vague character, alarmist tone, errors in Portuguese and the lack of citation of reliable sources. If that wasn't enough, there is the request for sharing. Also like a classic rumor, the message refers to stories that have already we deny. Just about “virus that hacks your cell phone”, we have already denied fake news which pointed to “they arrested Lula”, “dance of the pope”, “Mariana and the mug” and others. In the text checking part, we will answer the following questions: 1) Is it It's true that there are hackers sending this photo of the Chillán volcano to pass a virus on WhatsApp? 2) Is there such a thing as the Chillán volcano? 3) Is it true that there is a photo on WhatsApp that can hack your cell phone in 10 seconds? Check ## It is true that there are hackers sending this photo of the Chillán volcano to pass a virus on WhatsApp? No, absolutely. As in all the other cases mentioned, there is no any record that the alert is real. In reality, there is not any person who sent such a photo with a virus. In reality, there is no logic on the premise (which we will explain later). ## Is there such a thing as the Chillán volcano? More or less. The volcano that may have been mentioned is not called Chillán. In fact, there is a volcano in Chile called Nevados that is in the city of Chillan. It is worth pointing out that there are no hackers taking advantage of the image of Nevados. ## It is true that there is a photo on WhatsApp that can hack your cell phone in 10 seconds? In reality, no. Fortunately, WhatsApp only accepts images to be shared in some formats, such as JPG and PNG. On the contrary of executable files, they do not have the ability to install viruses on your cell phone. Conclusion Fake news 👎❌ It is false that there are hackers sending viruses through a photo of a volcano called Chillán. This is a new version of an old fake that already we deny it on the Internet.
