Vodafone solves big problem of Android smartphones!
Almost everyone has received fake text messages that later end up infecting our smartphone. Especially if we click on the links that are there. In fact, 2021 was a record year for them and the use of various methods stands out.
Many of the messages that reach users are really sophisticated and lead users to very well made websites. In fact, this is exactly why these types of attacks have been so successful. However, now it looks like Vodafone is going to put a stop to this once and for all. In fact, there is a system that is already in operation in England and that should soon reach all parts of the world.
The new system has already managed to substantially lower these messages during Christmas time. Compared to May, there were 76% fewer dangerous messages in December! However, since August, 45 million SMS messages have already been blocked.
This is due to a kind of firewall of messages.
In addition to blocking messages, Vodafone claims that it has also facilitated the access in the United Kingdom to the 7726 service which allows these scams to be reported so that they can be blocked more quickly. In addition, it is also possible to report dangerous scams at the touch of a button.
This is great news as scams via messages keep coming. It remains now to wait for it to reach all countries.
