Cloning a SIM using hardware tools and all is well common process, but retrieving information from the SIM remotely is a very hard and highly trained process done by professional hackers with very expensive tools.
More than 1 Lakh users have already been cloned! Most of them were BSNL users. Once if you fall into this hack, hackers can easily get data of your phone’s memory as well as make calls from your SIM without your permission! Therefore, please follow the tips below from today.
Tips:
- If you get a missed calls from numbers that starts with +92, #09 or #90, Don’t call back as your sim card would get cloned!
- If you get a incoming call from these types of number and if you take it, but if no person is speaking, like just a blank or some random sounds then immediately cut the call too as it’s also an attempt to clone your sim card!
- Try not to take unknown phone calls.
- Never reply to SPAM SMS like lottery and all which asks your personal details like Name, Address, Phone number, etc.
- If you can, install a free anti virus for your phone (if your phone supports). For Nokia users, Install NetQin Anti Virus and configure all the options.
