    Tag: SMS Blasting Attacks

    SMS Blasting Attacks refer to malicious activities where an attacker sends a large volume of SMS messages, often using automated tools, to a specific target or a group of targets. The primary aim of these attacks can vary, including spamming, phishing attempts, or overwhelming a system with traffic, known as flooding. SMS blasting can be used to distribute fraudulent messages, solicit sensitive information, or promote scams. It exploits the SMS infrastructure and can lead to significant disruptions or financial losses for both the recipients and telecommunication networks. These types of attacks can also pose privacy risks, as personal data may be harvested or exposed during the process.
