Global SMS Phishing Campaign Traced to China Targets Users Worldwide https://gbhackers.com/global-sms-phishing/ #CyberSecurityNews #cybersecurity #SMSPhishing #Phishing

Es bringt etwas, Scam-SMS der Bundesnetzagentur zu melden:

"wir kommen auf Ihre Beschwerde vom 24.09.2024 mit unserem Aktenzeichen […] zu einer unverlangten Kurznachricht zurück. In dieser Nachricht wurden Sie über eine angeblich vorliegende wichtige Nachricht Ihrer Bank informiert […]

Die Netzbetreiber, in deren Netz die Rufnummern geschaltet waren, haben die Abschaltungen bestätigt. […]"

Ist zwar langsam, aber immerhin…

Jetzt benutzen die schon beide Bezeichnungen, um weniger als Bullshit aufzufallen. Funktioniert trotzdem nicht, denn ich habe keine Kinder, zumindest weiß ich von keinen, aber ich wüsste auch nicht, wo die herkommen sollen. Wenn ich welche hätte, wären die auch nie und nimmer alt genug, dass die einfach von alleine einen Vertrag abschließen könnten.

Heute sind sie aber mal wieder fleissig, diese Phishingers der Banken und Mobilfunkanbieter 🙄.

Heute 4, VIER (!!) SMSe bekommen , dass entweder meine push-TANs auslaufen (Sparka und ComDirekt) und ich sie reaktivieren soll oder meine Handynummer um 0.00 abgeschaltet wird (2x 02).

Alle vier der Bundesnetzagentur gemeldet. Da bin ich gna-den-los und sehr konsequent.

Wer das auch machen möchte:
