Beware!!!! Its a new way to hack...


Now a days hackers are applying new technique for ransom and to do fraud with the innocent people.
Example:
Introduction :
Mr. Raj (An innocent doctor, Not having knowledge of cyber world)
Mr. hacker (A criminal with bad mind to earn money)
Scenario :
One day Mr. Raj suddenly received a call from Mr. Hacker.
Mr. Hacker: Hello, Is this Mr. Raj.

(Call disconnected)
(Suddenly Raj received a call from a friend)
Friend: Hey! Raj you had given missed call to me, What happen???
Raj to Friend: Nope!!! i didn't gave you any missed call...
(Raj is in tension, Now all the relatives of Raj started receiving a missed call from Raj.)
(Raj even don't know about this, What is happening...)
End:
Let me explain you the scenario, here hacker is smart enough and doing a spam with Mr. Raj.
What kind of spam is this, How hacker is doing all this????
Hacker first installed a malware into Mr. Raj's cell phone to read all the call logs from Mr. Raj's cell phone.
Now all the numbers in dialed call list, Started receiving missed calls from hacker.
The hacker was using Mr. Raj's number to give the missed call.
Here, the hacker was using a technique called as call spoofing.
Sir, What is Call Spoofing?
With Call spoofing technique anyone can call to anyone else with any number or name.
For ex. I can call you from your father's number.
Sir, How hackers can do this call spoofing?
They either use some call spoofing applications or some websites also provides this kind of services.
For ex. http://www.spoofcard.com/ or http://crazycall.net/
Sir, How can i detect, whether it's a spoof call or a real call?
You have to check the country code of the call.
For ex. look at the image attachment.
Sir, How hacker installed this malware in Mr. Raj's cell phone?
Mr. Raj is a game lover. He downloaded some free games from internet or some free applications. With this free games or some free applications malware was attached with it. As soon as Mr. Raj installed the freeware malware installed successfully.
Note: i am not again'st of free games or applications, But i just want to make you aware about all this kind of frauds and fooling techniques.
