He/she should report to WhatsApp they would block the account for two weeks then later they will open,but once reopen try set your two steps verification code to protect your account

Is this possible reporting to whatsapp? Just being curious

WhatsApp does not allow dual users on a number, let her reset her WhatsApp and put her number again, they’ll send a verification code. Use the code, they’ll also ask for 2Fa tell them you’ve forgotten that, I think they can also reset that with her number. All these should automatically log out the other user and they’ll ask the scammer to re verify. And tell her to wise up. I don’t think anyone should still be falling for all these scams

WhatsApp does not allow dual users on a line? Hehe you're funny

Please my fellow tech engineers my friend mistakenly foolishly verified a code sent to her by an unknown source on WhatsApp and she couldn't access her account anymore it has been locked they are asking for Two-step verification code which she has never registered for it before, She uploaded it on social media.


What is the way forward??

There, I fixed it.

Let her engage Whatsapp to block the account and notify all her loved ones (probably by opening an account with a different number, since she still has her phone)

Security Code changed indicates, the person reinstalled WhatsApp. Either on a new phone or the same phone.

It always happens when the person buys a new phone and reinstalled WhatsApp again

Obviously you don't understand what he's saying. You can never use the same number for WhatsApp on different devices simultaneously. So in reinstalling on his phone, it'll automatically lock out the hacker and sends a verification code to his line, then after the 2F authentication prompt, the owner can click forget PIN and viola the 2F pin will be reset

Disable it and set a new code

It is finished. The hacker now has a two-step verification code for your account. That's why everyone is advised to do their two-step verification. It's very important.
Two step verification is just a stepping stone, hackers are studying it to find loophole

@LordviccoDaguru the PIN should be in her phone; the text they sent her when she was registering.
