A denial-of-service attack can be a complex work of a computer hacker or something you can do yourself, sending a 4,000 emojis WhatsApp chat. A failure of the application allows unused leave the conversation if someone sends a message with thousands of emoticons.
This is the that just happened to this person. He received a message from your best friend emoticons which left him crippled throughout the day and serious bugs in your cell phone.
The bug was discovered by Indian blogger Indrajeet Bhuyan, known for reporting a similar ruling that allowed WhatsApp hang with a message of 2,000 words in a set of special characters. The company managed that ruling, but the tireless Indrajeet has done it again.
As reported by the investigator 18 in Web WhatsApp the character limit per message is ~ 6,500, but when introduced to some 4,200 4400 emojis browser slows down. The interesting thing happens if you send the message, so the user application as container crashean ?? ?? and close. There is no way to reopen the conversation: the victim has to clear the chat to talk with the attacker
The bug seems to affect 900 million users of WhatsApp.. Indrajeet Bhuyan has gotten WhatsApp play in Firefox and Chrome Web and in mobile versions of Android and iOS. The difference is that in Android failure causes the application to close and iOS without closing freezes.
