"Unseen Risks: Hackers Secretly Sending SMS from Your Phone"
SMS spoofing is a technique where hackers send text messages from a number that appears to be yours, without needing physical access to your phone. This can lead to phishing scams, identity theft, and damaged relationships. To protect against SMS spoofing, individuals should use antivirus software, keep their phone's software updated, change passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and be cautious with their connections. If you suspect you've been targeted by SMS spoofing, take immediate action by changing passwords, monitoring financial statements, and considering identity theft protection services. It's also advised to report the incident to your mobile carrier, law enforcement, and potentially credit bureaus.
