The Rise of SMS Blasters: A New Threat to SMS Security

New Smishing Technique: SMS Blasters

Scammers have started using a new technique to send scam messages to your phone. They are using 'SMS blasters', devices that impersonate cell towers and force phones to use insecure connections, to send thousands of scam SMS messages per hour. This technique was initially detected in Southeast Asia and has since spread to Europe and South America.
