“DICT’s ‘Project: SIM Check Mo’ puts subscribers at risk of number scraping, other attacks”
“The project lets any mobile user to text “SIM Check” plus the phone number of any subscriber to 1326 (DICT’s hotline), and they will receive the registration status of the number, the initials of its owner, and if the record of the number is in good standing.”
‘“Project: SIM Check Mo” is a “solution” looking for a problem that it can eventually become. Already, foreign numbers such as Malaysian ones are being used to spread spam and scam messages to Philippine mobile subscribers. SIM Check Mo simply cannot address that. As such, this project will be a failure from day one.’
