Here's the original news:
Chennai: Following a complaint by BCCI president-elect N Srinivasan that his mobile phone was hacked into and SMSes were sent to some IPL team owners asking them to fall in line, the cyber crime cell of the Chennai police registered a case and launched investigations .
According to Srinivasan's complaint, a few IPL team owners had recently received an SMS from his number warning they too would face action because of their links with former IPL chief Lalit Modi. Srinivasan said in his complaint that he was shocked when he heard about the SMS. He said, he requested the team owners to send the SMS back to him and denied sending any such message, a cop said.
Another police officer confirmed that Bangalore Royal Challengers, Mumbai Indians and another team owners recieved it.We are not sure if the message was recieved by only these three. But as these three team owners contacted Srinivasan after receiving the SMS, he came to know about the hacking, the officer said. We have approached a service provider in Mumbai to identify the origin of the SMS.We hope to receive the details in a day or two. Police said, "We are also in discussion with the technical team to narrow down on the hacker."
What might have actually happened?
Cyber crime cell specialists think BCCI President Might be a victim of (SMS Attack) because hacker had send it at night. He might be a hacker who has the right tools and knows how to send a malicious text message capable of opening the web browser and taking to a harmful website. Once site opened, the site downloads a dirty exe file to your phone, then all the sensitive information like passwords will be in hackers database in the form of hashes then he can use tools like Encode/Decode Base64 to get the passwords, by this all types of sensitive information can also be hacked easily. These Attacks Are Mostly Carried out by sending Business Cards.
The SOURCE for the above news is Times Of India. To send a prank SMS, there no need to hack a cell phone. There are many websites available through which you can send the prank SMS's. It's similar to email spoofing. We feel that this is not a case of CELL PHONE HACKING. Its actually SMS's SPOOFING.
