Day to day new changes take place in technology instead of every possible thread to eliminate the hackers to safe guard your data and privacy one new thread take place. Here a new attack is lurking to steal your OTP protection on all online transactions. In This new attack, hackers are able to redirect SMS bound for the victim’s phone number to their systems. Hackers use text-messaging management services, meant for business, to carry out the attack, thanks to the exploit in these services. So, in a way, these attacks are possible because of the negligence of the telecom industry, at least in the US, and hackers are in for a treat. Using the attack, hackers can redirect important text messages, such as those containing OTP or login links for services such as WhatsApp.

For your information let us share that this attack was reported When  Joseph Cox had a hacker carry out the attack on his personal number. According to the report, the hacker could smoothly just redirect the SMS supposed to arrive on his mobile number and intercept data. The victim here, Cox, would not even know such an attack has been targeted at him where his SMSes are no longer reaching his phone. And the exploit in the responsible services is so big that the companies providing the services do not send any SMS to the number being targeted to ask permission or just inform the owner that the texts have been forwarded.

However here it is to be noted that  the most bizarre thing about this attack is that hackers are able to access the services by paying just $16 (roughly Rs 1,160). And this is the nominal fee that most providers ask for the SMS redirection services meant for paying businesses -- not hackers. The company that provided these services in the case of Cox has claimed it has fixed the exploit but there are several others that have not.  The new SMS redirection attack is just another one in the series of hacking activities that involve SMS and cellular systems. This is not the case with SMS redirection where the victim does not even get to know such activity is happening. It is normal to think that there might be an issue with the network when you do not get the SMS that you intended to receive on your phone, such as OTP texts.
