Can Someone Hack Your Phone With Just Your Number?

Can someone hack your phone with just your phone number? The truth might shock you.

More than 60% of ALL cyber attacks start on mobile devices.

Once a scammer knows your phone number, they can send you scam texts, trick you into downloading malware or spyware, or use social engineering attacks to steal your personal and financial information.

All of this can lead to identity theft and financial fraud.

HOW DO SCAMMERS GET YOUR PHONE NUMBER?

- It was leaked in a data breach
- You posted it on social media (or it’s attached to your profile)
- They tricked you into giving it up in a phishing scam
- They bought it on the Dark Web
- They listened in on you in public (aka “Shoulder surfing”)
- They found it in your stolen mail

WHAT CAN HACKERS DO WITH YOUR PHONE NUMBER?

1. Rerouting your texts or calls to THEIR phone — scammers trick your phone carrier into rerouting your calls and messages to their phone. This gives them access to your sensitive information and even 2FA codes.

2. Send you text message scams — fraudsters send malicious texts that look legitimate, but are designed to steal your personal information.

3. Blackmail using your personal data — if a scammer has access to sensitive photos, videos, or information, they can blackmail you over the phone.

4. Preying on your family — scammers will “spoof” your phone number and message your family or friends, making it look like the text is coming from you.

HOW TO SECURE YOUR PHONE NUMBER FROM SCAMMERS

- Lock your SIM with your phone carrier to stop scammers from taking over your phone number.
- Never click links in text messages.
- Use biometric security (like fingerprint ID) to secure your phone.

Even for the recognition brian hacks online gets, his skills is so underrated at least by most tech fans in general. I mean I get that there is stamina and all that involved in things like he does but being able to stand so far away and have the ability get the information needed with high speed as expected to hit it perfectly with a paddle just over the net is extremely impressive.

[zeroresistance]

I'm a bit curious.

HOW Exactly does a hacker get access to my information?
Don't i have to do something very dumb like ''downloading an app or clicking a link in order to get my phone infecteD?

or can they actually hack me just thru knowing my phone number?

[mithleshdass]

[cbxukpg]

If someone has picture or video from you, can they really blackmail you into sending to the ppl you know, like contacts or FB or Insta? Or is it just bluff? If all they have is your number?

[FatherandSon]

so let me get this straight, as long as i dont press wierd links or download wierd stuff and apps then my phone should be safe right? unless i access wierd wifis ofc....

[ninoraner]

If a hacker reroutes ur phone calls and messages to his number do u stop recieving messeges on your phone number or do both of the numbers (yours an hackers) recieve messages?

[Darkkorex]

[JOEMAMA-rlks]

Phone hackers or scammers watching this

[adrimaartens]

I am such a victim! Fingerprint ID have been deleted.... Should I buy a new phone?

[tribetiez]

I just found out my numbers on the dark web, what should I do

[asimplerlife]

Ok so a stranger got ahold of my husbands first name only, address, and gave him a number to call.. so I’m guessing they have his phone number. After this happened some things didn’t add up to his story.

What should we be worried about here? I typed in our address and his first name and google pulls up his birthday mo and year. Along with last name and confirmed phone number with list of family… should we be watching for scam calls, emails, mail? Or household thief’s. Would changing phone number be good idea . It would be a big deal in our case so don’t wanna do it unless it’s worth it .

[kntwing]

what if someone hacks into your computer & your phones?
can u go to the police to help u?

[TEZOFGILEAD]

Can they use old comments and old conversations? There's something wrong with my accounts.Very strange this.

Never use a hotel's Wi-Fi. And if you do ask the hotel what type of provider they have and what security system they Is half . And never give your real gmail or email accoun. That's easy pickings for hackers

[ChamiChophy]
