A  recent article  from The Hacker News explains that someone can easily hijack your WhatsApp account if they gain physical access to your phone, even if just for a few moments. Theoretically, the attack could be used against any of the 800 million current WhatsApp users. The actual mechanism of the attack isn’t sophisticated, and it doesn’t require any hacking skill at all.
