Do you know that Nokia 1100, an old Nokia phone model, if fallen to the wrong hands can be used to hack into online banking accounts?
Nokia 1100 can hack into online banking accounts
Something very strange happened recently and it gave Nokia the spook. It seems that certain groups of hackers especially those specializing in hacking online banking accounts are willing to pay top dollar (up to $32,000 Wow!) for old Nokia 1100 phones. Nokia 1100 is of course the world’s best selling cell phone but it has a nasty firmware bug that allows hackers to intercept SMS messages sent by European banks and use the information contained in those SMS messages to hack into other people’s online banking accounts.
A quick trip to a few hackers’ forums revealed that hackers are looking for a particular Nokia 1100 model, the one manufactured in a German manufacturing plant in 2003.
