Cybercriminals may have found that they can hack into bank accounts with an old Nokia mobile phone. Fraudsters have been paying over the odds for the obsolete Nokia 1100, as it is believed they can reprogramme the handset to intercept SMS messages sent by some banks. These messages contain one-time passwords. Gangs had started paying up to £9,000 for the handset last year, but one was recently sold online for £22,000. Nokia's recommended retail price for the handset was £89. |
