thegreatandp Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 The other day i was looking through my cell phone when there was a text message in my outbox that i never wrote! And of course, NO nobody has access to my phone but myself. I do have the whole bluetooth thing going on and i also have my wirless internet up and going almost 24 hours a day right beside my cell phone. Is it possible that this happened? Whomever wrote it wrote his name and the girl he was sending it to and i don't know anyone by either of those names. Help me out here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SL31 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Switch off your Bluetooth. If you have this running in the backrgound, someone with the right equipment and knowledge, can hack into your phone and take over your handset and do pretty much what they want without you having a clue (i.e. your handset will look normal, you wont see it happening). They can even use your handset to call those premium rate numbers which they may have set up themselves and make money from your phone!, check out the Real Hustle tv show, last week they showed how this could happen and stole about 100 quid from numerous victims in a train station in the space of an hour!!
