WhatsApp closes 6.8 million accounts worldwide linked to criminal fraud  

WhatsApp has closed 6.8 million accounts that were linked to criminal fraud centers targeting people online around the world, its parent company Meta said.

The account deletions, which Meta said occurred during the first six months of the year, come as part of the company's broader efforts to crack down on fraud.

In an announcement on Tuesday, Meta said it was also launching new tools on WhatsApp to help people spot scams, including a new security summary that the platform will show when someone who is not in a user's contacts adds them to a group, as well as ongoing test alerts to pause before responding.

Scams are becoming very common and increasingly sophisticated in today's digital world.

Too-good-to-be-true offers and spam messages try to steal consumers' information or money, with scams filling phones, social media and other corners of the internet every day. /CNA
