> The attack vector only works for Landlines, VOIP, Toll-free. I'm confused, didn't the article say "A few minutes after they entered my T-Mobile number into Sakari, Lucky225 started receiving text messages that were meant for me"? T-Mobile is a normal cellular carrier here isn't it? What part of it required a VOIP line? P.S. You can edit your old comments instead of leaving 4 different ones in the same thread.

He's saying Lucky225 lied to market his service https://okeymonitor.com/ https://okeymonitor.com/ in the article.

  Lucky225 lied about... what exactly? The Vice reporter literally says "Then he showed he had received texts that were meant for me that he had intercepted. Later he took over my WhatsApp account, too, and texted a friend pretending to be me."

    Lied that it was T-Mobile I'm hoping he lied and T-Mobile SMS can't just be redirected.

      Uhm, it's the Vice reporter who's saying "my T-Mobile number"... are you saying he has no idea who his carrier is and Lucky225 told him his carrier was T-Mobile?!?!?!
      - homero 6y ago
        Well then he didn't lie I guess if it was the journalist getting hijacked live in T-Mobile

        Well that's what the article says. It seems like you have no idea what the allegation is about, and the allegation itself seems to fly pretty blatantly in the face of the article too.
        homero 6y ago
        The allegation is mobile carriers can't be redirected. Only landline and voip. Update: So his allegation is there is no reporter supposedly and it's a paid article.
        dataflow 6y ago
        Which directly contradicts the article saying it was T-Mobile...

        Well that's what he's claiming https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26488898 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26488898 paid article I want to know who is right wealthyyy or Lucky225

        Well that's why I'm pushing back against it. I very much want to know too. So far, given wealthyyy is a 5-day-old account making so many serious accusations of dishonesty [1] [2] against a Vice reporter without a shred of evidence, it should be obvious who has more credibility right now.
