Cheating Husband Sues Wife For Reading His Whatsapp Messages.

Okaz/Saudi Gazette has learned that the man discovered that his wife, a school teacher, had managed to access his WhatsApp account and retrieved all the data and video clips that came to the account without his knowledge.

The man considered his wife’s behavior as spying and a cyber crime. Nevertheless, he favored an amicable settlement of the issue between them, despite the intrusion of his wife.

However, the woman sought a divorce and in the settlement asked him to clear some of the financial obligations between them before obtaining the divorce. When Okaz/Saudi Gazette contacted her, she refused to speak about the issue. However, she confirmed that she already made her decision to separate and hence did not want to wash their dirty linen in public.

Meanwhile, a female cyber security expert cautioned against using WiFi networks with free access, which are common in airports, cafes and hotels, describing them as more vulnerable to hacking.

Bushra Al-Hout, a cyber security trainer and business development manager of a firm, told Okaz/Saudi Gazette that the WhatsApp application has attracted the attention of hackers, and the danger increases when using common points for browsing as it is an access gateway for hackers.
