SMS Phishing
Created by: der-stefan
Is there any way, my mobile number gets commited to the internet? Since using SMSsecure, I received several phishing SMS. A friend of mine experiences the same. We both installed SMSsecure at the beginning of April 2015 (Version 0.5.1, now 0.5.3) and never had any Spam SMS before. The sms came from a number starting with +44.
Is it the NSA that is angry about our encryption? Is it my provider that just now sold my telephone number to the devil? Or is it SMSsecure? At least someone wants to identify myself.
I really like it to encrypt SMS, even though keys are short and SMS content shrinks.
