"Unseen Risks: Hackers Secretly Sending SMS from Your Phone"

SMS spoofing allows hackers to send text messages impersonating someone else without needing physical access to their phone. This technique can be used for phishing scams, fraud, and damaging reputations. To protect against such threats, individuals should use antivirus software, keep their phone's software updated, change passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and be cautious with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. If victimized, it's crucial to take immediate action such as changing passwords, monitoring bank statements, using identity theft protection services, and alerting contacts.
