According to information posted by WhatsApp users online, this link is available as a new feature that allows WhatsApp users to change the theme to Pink.

This is not the color of PINK but the color of Danger!

But the truth is that this link that WhatsApp users receive is "disguised" as an official update from Facebook's instant messaging site WhatsApp.

Security researcher alerted!

Internet security researcher Rajshekar Rajaharia also warned users on Twitter about this. His tweet, a specific malware link that turns WhatsApp evil into pink, will allow hackers to gain full access to the user's smartphone. He noted that users would lose access to WhatsApp through it.

Click, do not share!

The "Pink WhatsApp" link is an APK link that convinces people to install an external APK file on their smartphone. But in reality it is used for data theft jobs. So none of the users should be fooled into believing this, just click on the specific link or share it with others

Do not become a cyber crime victim!

Users are advised to stick with the most basic things as always. That means do not install any APK or mobile app on smartphones other than those available in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

The dangers behind Pink WhatsApp!

Such malware can be used to 'compromise' a user's smartphone and steal important information through it. Hackers can also use it to steal users' bank passwords. One thing that people have forgotten is that there have been cases in the past where the fake WhatsApp feature called WhatsApp Gold Theme was impersonated as real.

However the WhatsApp company has not said anything yet about Pink WhatsApp.
