Remember the Most Vulnerable Flaw discovered in Nokia 1100. At that point of time, though the news was not confirmed, it was suspected that there is a dangerous flaw in one of the most popular black and white models of Nokia – Nokia 1100.
But, now experts confirm about the flaw that made many people across the globe loose their private banking information.
CTO of Ultrascan Knowledge Process Outsourcing, a subsidiary of fraud investigation firm Ultrascan says:
Criminals are willing to pay a lot of money for the right Nokia 1100. An Ultrascan informant sold one of the devices recently in Tangiers, Morocco, for €5,500 (US$7,567). Using special software written by hackers, certain models of the 1100 can be reprogrammed to use someone else’s phone number and receive their SMS (Short Message Service) messages.
By now I have got only one thing to say “Technology can be a boon as well as a curse”. Isn’t it?
