GhostPairing is the name used for threat actors conducting a campaign that abuses WhatsApp's legitimate device-linking feature to hijack accounts via pairing codes. The campaign relies on social engineering rather than bypassing technical protections: victims receive messages from known contacts containing links to fake Facebook pages hosted on typosquatted or similar-looking domains, are prompted to enter their phone number, and are then tricked into entering a WhatsApp pairing code that links the attacker's browser to the victim's account. Once linked, the attackers gain real-time access to WhatsApp Web, including conversation history and shared media, and can impersonate the victim or commit fraud. Compromised accounts are then used to target additional victims, enabling rapid propagation. The campaign was first observed in Czechia by Gen Digital and has potential to spread more broadly. No specific nation-state attribution is provided in the content. Known alias in the provided content: ghostpairing_campaign_threat_actors.
