@th3j35t3r I remember an attack one of my old community members had been working on, the plan was to use sms texts to DDoS people's sim cards, by sending them thousands of texts that will keep the phone flooded and locked down. After separating from them, I've never heard of it getting used, so likely they ran into troubles with getting it to work. I pictured that as a fundamentally huge flaw in our handheld devices. Nowadays I imagine spam blockers will catch it.
@th3j35t3r also tbh I'm quite uneducated on how sim cards worked so I believed it 😅
