BCCI president-elect N Srinivasan cell phone hacked

The SOURCE for the below news is Times Of India. Well Lemme clear one thing to all my readers that to send a prank SMS, no need to hack a cell phone. There are so many websites available on net using which you can send the prank SMS's. It is something similar like email spoofing. In my personal opinion, this is not a case of CELL PHONE HACKING. Its actually a SMS's SPOOFING.

As per feedback received from Adnan Anjum: I think BCCI President Might be a victim of (SMS Attack ) because hacker send it at night, a hacker who has the right tools and know how to send a malicious text message to your phone capable of opening the web browser and taking to a harmful website. Once site opened, the site downloads a dirty executable to your phone,then all the 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.
