The vulnerability - first reported by the Financial Times, and fixed in the latest WhatsApp update - allowed hackers to insert malicious software on phones by calling the target using the app, which is used by 1.5 billion people around the world.

Many fans were busy recoiling from the disappointment of the events that transpired in the fifth episode of the eight season of GOT. Some others were caught up in the excitement of the fire that Daenerys rained down on King's Landing.  The eagle-eyed fans were left nothing short of frustrated at having to spot the guffaw that the character of Jaime Lannister magically had his formerly chopped off hand back.

However, as bricks rained down and the Lannister lovers of Jamie and Cersei were about to meet their death, the scene was blessed with an editing blunder, Jamie was sporting his cut off hand! Does Somebody praise the Lord of Lights? Sadly, the Lord of Lights can't take credit for this miracle because this is a very yikes mistake. Who would have thought that the Starbucks cameo appearance won't be the ...
