Thai authorities apprehended two fraud groups in Bangkok. One group employed "SMS blasting," a technique mimicking cell towers to send mass texts.
Their setup, comprising a power station, router, and phones, enabled sending nearly 1 million malicious messages over three days. These messages lured recipients with fake free gifts, aiming to steal passwords or install malware.
This incident highlights the growing threat of mobile fraud, reminding us of similar scams like those targeting iPad users with phishing links. For enhanced security, consider using antivirus software and staying informed about critical security updates.
