Doch wieder WhatsApp ?
Denke gerade darüber nach wieder nach fast 2 Jahren WhatsApp zu installieren. Wäre nur für meinen besten Freund, noch einen Freund und unseren Sohn mit Ehefrau.
Derzeit läuft bei denen alles über SMS, was nicht so schlimm wäre, kann aber ohne iPhone keine SMS versenden von meinem MacMini M1. So tippe ich halt fleißig von meinem Android-Handy aus die Nachrichten.
Ich weiß, ist ein Luxusproblem 
Phishing Platform 'Lucid' behind Wave of iOS and Android SMS Attacks.
Beware, a phishing-as-a-service [PhaaS] platform named 'Lucid' has been targeting 169 entities in 88 countries using well-crafted messages sent on iMessage [iOS] and RCS [Android].

Device Farm used for spamming Targets.
Lucid operators use large-scale iOS and Android device farms to send text messages. For iMessage, Lucid uses temporary Apple IDs. For RCS, the threat actors exploit carrier-specific implementation flaws in sender validation.
"The main purpose of showcasing phishing messages being sent from victim devices while driving is to demonstrate how easily individuals can become involved in such operations," Prodaft said. "Some threat actors may be drawn to low-risk, low-profit spam campaigns that require minimal technical skills or infrastructure — often relying on virtualization tools or repurposed physical devices to automate message delivery at scale."

#unplugtrump ist eine tolle Ideengrube, was man alles machen kann, um sich etwas digitaler unabhängig zu machen
. Ich habe auch im Rahmen meiner Möglichkeiten (privat, beruflich & technisch) einiges umgestellt. Nun habe ich heute einen #Podcast über das bankenlose & internetlose Bezahlen in #Afrika gehört und frage mich, ob man sowas ähnliches (da es auch Nachteile gibt) nicht auch in der #EU umsetzen könnte.

Smishing Triad: Chinese eCrime Group Targets 121+ Countries, Introduces New Banking Phishing Kit
The Chinese eCrime group Smishing Triad has launched a global SMS phishing campaign targeting over 121 countries across various industries. Their infrastructure generates over one million page visits in 20 days, averaging 50,000 daily. The group has introduced a new 'Lighthouse' phishing kit focusing on banking and financial organizations, particularly in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Smishing Triad claims to have '300+ front desk staff worldwide' supporting their operations. They frequently rotate domains, with approximately 25,000 active during any 8-day period. The majority of phishing sites are hosted by Chinese companies Tencent and Alibaba. The campaign primarily targets postal, logistics, telecommunications, transportation, finance, retail, and public sectors.

If you have a Notebook with an embedded WWAN device (GSM/LTE/5G) and want to quickly send a SMS message, there is a way to do this with mmcli (ModemManager CLI):
1st: List the available modem devices:
$ mmcli list
2nd: Sent the SMS via an available modem (in my case moden no. 0):
$ mmcli -m 0 --messaging-create-sms="text='Hello world',number='+1XXXXXXXXXX"
Messaging | created sms: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/7
3rd: Use the ID of the message and send it to the ether:
$ mmcli -m 0 --sms 7 --send
successfully sent the SMS
That's it. You can also read incoming SMS with mmcli by listing them with "mmcli -m 0 --messaging-list-sms" and then reading the invidual messages by their ID with "mmcli -m 0 --sms ID --send"
@bshankar I have a #KaiOS phone which doesn't support #RCS, and I thankfully don't receive much #spam on #SMS either, although many of my friends seem to get the same. (That's why many have stopped checking SMS unless they need an OTP or something)
Do you find RCS spam to be similar to SMS spam? Also, I'm guessing RCS supports rich content like images and stuff? So does the spam include that as well?
#PSA: the #QUIK #SMS [app] has been updated, and it's way better than before.
I used to have problems with it because the pictures it sent via #MMS were of far poorer quality than the other programs I tried (including the #AOSP default Messaging app), but they seem to have fixed that.
They also have added a nice big button to trigger your phone's native dictation service (you can turn that off if you don't want it, or don't have one).
It has successfully replaced the proprietary SMS program I was using before, which makes me quite glad.

It has come to my attention that sending Mastodon links via text message are being filtered by either T-Mobile or Verizon.... Specifically, at least in this case, links to infosec.exchange ... I shared something with my family in a group SMS last night and no one received it. Today I'm with members of my family and have confirmed that any message with a infosec.exchange link does not go through but all messages without the link do - this involves messages of JUST the URL and ones with text and the URL. I also tried SMS to just my nephew with the URL and it disappeared into the void as well.
I use T-Mobile and the entirety of my family uses Verizon. I have not been able to test to another T-Mobile customer as of yet. I will test with other instance links in a bit.
Пиздец. 
Объясните мне. Пожалуйста. КАК код подтвеждения для #WhatsApp, который я попросил в #SMS для номера, сим-карта которого в другом аппарате, пришел мне в #Telegram на десктопе??? 
Хм, допустим, с как ситуация прояснилась: через телегу можно слать коды по номеру телефона за $0,01 вместо СМС.
Вопрос: они там все наглухо ёбнулись всё-таки, или это «стильно, модно, молодежно», надо привыкать к новым реалиям? 
One of our researchers recently received a text from an unknown number saying they were eligible to receive a full refund for an Amazon order. The message contained a link to a URL on t[.]co, Twitter/X's link shortener. Clicking the link led to the domain 267536[.]cc, which hosted an Amazon phishing page.
From this lead, we were able to find many more domains hosting the same content. The actor registering the domains seems to like .cc, the country code TLD for the Cocos Islands.
Sample of the domains:
236564[.]cc
267536[.]cc
671624[.]cc
687127[.]cc
319632[.]cc
@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill also #BlackBerry's #PlayBook #Tablet was released as a accessory screen for their Phones, which gave it "#WiiU-Effect" in terms of marketing.
I mean, the hardware was never their problem and #SMS-Typists swear by their #BlackberryCurve's #keyboard but BlackBerry's #toolchain - just like #SymbianOS's - was just hideous to the point that devs like @fuchsiii didn't even want to try making #Apps for those devices.
#Sony even released some #Symbian #S60 devices but since they didn't have the same signing keys, one couldn't even #sideload apps (not to mention they didn't had the #OviStore on those either!)...
#FollowerPower: Or does anyone know any #Android #Tablet that supports native #PhoneCalls & #SMS from it like a #Smartphone using it's built-in #WWAN / #4G / #5G modem that isn't some random chinese import brand like "#Crosscall" or something but actually reputable in delivering #security #updates post-launch?
It's for an eldery person who doesn't have the best eyesight anymore and just want to have something better than the overpriced #Doro / #Gigaset devices that are tiny.
Hackers can steal your password. They can lure you into granting them access by entering a one-time code received by SMS or other means.
