NANOJAMBO Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/n7w9pw/russian-sims-encrypted The full article at the link above . I haven't pasted the whole article as it's quite lengthy. Criminals use so-called Russian, encrypted, or white SIMs to change their phone number, add voice manipulation to their calls, and try to stay ahead of law enforcement. "There are these special SIM cards out there," he said, referring to the small piece of hardware that slips inside a cell phone. "I'm actually ringing from one now," he added, before later explaining he runs an underground site that sells these cards. This SIM card, the caller said, allowed him to spoof any phone number he wanted. Want to look like you're calling from a bank in order to scam a target? Easy. Want to change it to a random series of digits so that the recipient's phone won't record your real number? That just takes a few seconds to set up, according to tutorials of how to use the cards available online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
