  • Canada's First 'SMS Blaster' Bust

    From Aug@2:460/256 to All on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 01:02:02
    Hi All...


    How the Technology Works

    An SMS blaster acts as a fake cellular tower. When a phone is nearby, it is forced off its legitimate network and onto the rogue device. Once connected, the criminals send "smishing" texts that appear to come from trusted sources like banks or Canada Post. These messages contain links to fraudulent websites designed to steal login credentials and financial data.
