Is it true that when you hang up a strange phone, you are bombarded by more than 100 short messages?

A man in Shenzhen received a strange phone call on the road. After hanging up, he instantly received more than 100 verification messages. Recently, Mr Zhai, who lives in Feng Wan Street, Bao 'an District, also encountered such a "strange thing".

According to Mr Zhai, he received a phone call that day, but there was no sound from the other party. Mr Zhai hung up the phone and put his mobile phone aside. Without any operation, he received more than 100 verification information from various websites.

Mr. Zhai, who encountered this situation for the first time, remembered that he had heard a similar case from the "blue vest" of Baoan anti-fraud propaganda team at the entrance of the shopping mall, so he immediately asked the "blue vest" members of the police station for help. After careful understanding, the members of the "Blue Vest" decided that Mr. Zhai was attacked by "SMS bombers".

What is a "SMS bomb"? I believe many people have heard of the notorious "Call You to Death" (telephone harassment software), and "SMS Bomb" is its "brother" software, whose main purpose is harassment. Although the two technologies are close, the "SMS bomb" is more harmful. It is no longer a point-to-point attack, but with the help of a large number of third-party Internet platforms, these business SMS verification interfaces are maliciously called to attack the harassed mobile phones. Because the sent IP and platform are not fixed, it is difficult for the receiver to shield it, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between true and false SMS verification. The most terrible thing is that a powerful SMS bomb can send hundreds or even thousands of SMS messages every second, generating a huge amount of spam and instantly bombing the inbox of the harassed object.
