Whats a Spoof Card

// October 21st, 2009 // No Comments » // Computers, Cool Gadgets, Mobile

What is a Spoof Card and How Does it Work

SpoofCard is computer software that enables a caller to mask their phone numbers when making calls, which can be unscrupulously used to access other peoples voice mails.

Recent SpoofCard- hacking victims have included Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and Kanye West (Who is not dead, by the way)

This is how it works

For a fee, Spoofcard will allow users to call another phone while selecting any number they want to pop up on the caller ID.

In emost voice mail systems, this allows the spoofer  to call the number whilst dspoofing his own as the one he’s calling.

This seems to the computer that the spoofer is the person whos is about to get spoofed and the spoofer can retrieve the targets voicemail.

Phew…that’s alot of spoofing !!

Most times no passwords are required to get the messages.

The spooker callers can then listen to the other person’s messages and copy them.

Some people use the system for pranks, calling boyfriends or mothers under another number to fool them.

But Spoofing which is theoretically legal, and other easily available spoofing services also are often  used to anony mously harass victims.

So what is the moral of the story ?

USE SECURE PASSWORDS AND CHANGE THEM OFTEN.

Even when we think that we are fine to drive, we may be over the limit – and the magistrate is not going to care that you can down a bottle of tequila and then go tight rope walking.
