Amid spiralling stock prices, dodgy operators are impersonating brokers, clients and figuring out ways to access cell phone networks in reaching out to gullible investors. 在螺旋式上升的股票价格,狡猾的运营商冒充经纪人、客户并找出方法来访问手机网络接触轻信的投资者。
\n
Acting hand in glove with employees of SMS gateway firms, these fraudsters send bulk messages to rig up penny stocks<\/a> and even use specialised software to spoof mobile numbers and defraud small investors.
\n
Despite efforts, telecom companies, brokers, cyber security experts as well as Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> seem helpless in ending the menace.
\n
\n“Unfortunately, many times, such messages happen beyond registered telemarketers. Consumers can complain on DND (do not disturb) 2.0 and we will be able to stop them immediately. That is the only way,” said RS Sharma, chairman, Trai. However, individuals continue to receive stock tip messages even after registering for DND service.
\n
In bulk SMS, sender identity is captured in short codes. For instance, in the code AM-XYZ, AM stands of Airtel<\/a> Mumbai while XYZ is the brokerage or bank. A typical stock tip text would read: “INSIDER NEWS: BUY (name of scrip), CMP:60, ST TGT (short term target): 63, SL (stop loss):59, LT TGT (long term target): 120 +”
\n
\nGAMING THE SYSTEM<\/strong>
\nEven though short codes have to be registered with telcos — expected to check messages sent are in line with business of the company using the code — unregistered users and suspicious entities with strange codes are using the telecom network.
\n
“What attackers would mostly do is register a short code that reads very similar to a broker or a bank’s actual short code. For example, they may use VMABCBK instead of ABVBNK,” said KK Mookhey, CEO of Network Intelligence, a leading cyber security firm. Kamal Goel<\/a>, senior vice-president IT) at broking house Anand Rathi Securities<\/a>, said, “At times, it is one broker’s code and fictitious research attributed to another brokerage.
\n
\nWe suspect one way is when these operators obtain access (user ID, password) from an SMS service provider. Some employees of service providers may have joined hands with some staff at telecom companies. Rules do not allow bulk SMS from unregistered small codes.”
\n
\nSPOOFING CELL NUMBER<\/strong>
\nThe other kind of fraud is when someone manages to get a client list from a broker, with details such as PAN, phone number, etc.
\n
\nNext, he uses a specialised software, so the client’s number shows on the broker’s phone when the scamster calls.
\n
\nHe attempts to impersonate clients to put through trade orders.
\n
\n“This is scarier. Such client data can be obtained from multiple sources. Exchanges have issued guidelines to curb this and such trades can be null and void on reporting to exchanges in a specific format with police complaints,” said Goel.
\n
\n“Call spoofing is trivial through use of service providers such as Spoofcard and spoofmyphone.. there are also talks of SMS spoofing,” said Mookhey.
\n
\nALL RULES FOLLOWED: TELCOS<\/strong>
Leading telcos including Bharti Airtel and Vodafone India<\/a> say they have complied with all regulatory requirements and are vigilant. Privately, though, some officials concede they can’t do much since the defrauder is mainly buying bulk messages from registered telemarketers.
\n
Carriers say they give out short codes as requested by registered telemarketers, without much due diligence<\/a>.
\n
\nAs per rules, they just need to keep a record of who is given which code. They add that they can’t control or monitor telemarketers’ content, or who they resell to, due to privacy and other reasons. Telcos say it’s up to the regulators and while Trai officials are working on it, they seem to be at their wits’ end.
\n
\nOperators say they can’t even control the software used to manipulate caller line identification (CLI) system. “Any CLI tampering, if it is happening, is being done using various IT solutions available in the market.
\n
There is absolutely no involvement<\/a> of service providers in such a malpractice,\" said Rajan S Mathews, director general, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), which represents all major telcos in the country.
\n
\nSharma said Trai is working “very aggressively” with capital markets regulator Sebi to ensure unsolicited stock tips through messages or other frauds through call don't happen. “We will also consider issuing guidelines to consumers so they are aware,” he added.
\n
\n“Stock-related tips information can be sent only by Sebi registered entity and telemarketers are required to do this precheck.
\n
\nFurther, key word filtering and blocking has been implemented as per Trai directions,” Vodafone India said in an emailed statement to ET.

短信网关代理与员工合作公司,这些骗子发送大量信息平台一分钱股票甚至使用专门软件来恶搞移动数字和欺骗小投资者。
尽管努力,电信公司、经纪商、网络安全专家以及印度电信管理部门在结束的威胁中显得无助。
“不幸的是,很多时候,这种消息发生超出注册电话销售。消费者可以抱怨DND(请勿打扰)2.0,我们将能够立即停止他们。是唯一的办法,”主席RS Sharma说,火车。然而,个人继续接收股票提示消息即使DND服务注册。
散装短信,发送方身份在短码捕获。例如,在代码AM-XYZ,站的附近的旅馆孟买,XYZ是经纪公司或银行。一个典型的股票提示文本读:“内幕消息:买代币(名称),CMP: 60,圣TGT(短期目标):乐动扑克63年,SL(止损):59岁的LT TGT(长期目标):120 +”
游戏系统
即使短码必须与电信公司注册将检查发送的消息符合公司业务使用的代码,未注册用户和可疑的实体,奇怪的代码使用的是电信网络。
“攻击者将主要做的是注册一个短代码读起来非常类似于经纪商或银行的实际的短代码。例如,他们可能会使用VMABCBK ABVBNK,”首席执行官说KK Mookhey网络情报,领先的网络安全公司。卡迈勒•戈埃尔高级副总裁)在经纪的房子Anand Rathi证券说:“有时,它是一个代理的代码和虚构的研究归结为另一个经纪公司。
我们怀疑其中一个方法是当这些运营商获得(用户ID、密码)从一个SMS服务提供者。一些员工的服务提供商可能会加入一些电信公司的员工手中。规定不允许批量短信未注册的小码。”
欺骗细胞数量
另一种欺诈是当有人管理代理的客户名单,细节如锅、电话号码等。
接下来,他使用一个专门的软件,所以客户的数量显示在代理的电话当scamster调用。
他试图冒充客户通过贸易订单。
“这是可怕的。这样客户可以获得来自多个源的数据。交易所发布了指导意见,抑制这种这样的交易可以在报告无效交流在一个特定的格式与警察投诉,”高尔说。
“叫欺骗是微不足道的通过使用服务提供者如伪装和spoofmyphone . .也有谈判的短信欺骗,“Mookhey说。
所有规则是:电信公司
主要包括Bharti Airtel和沃达丰电信公司印度说他们有符合所有的监管要求和警惕。不过,私下里,一些官员承认他们不能做得自诈骗者主要从注册电话销售购买散装的消息。
航空公司说他们给出简短的代码要求注册电话销售,没有太多尽职调查。
按照规则,他们只需要记录下谁是哪些代码。他们补充说,他们无法控制或监控电话销售的内容,或者他们转售,由于隐私和其他原因。电信公司说这是监管机构,虽然火车官员正在研究它,他们似乎在绞尽脑汁。
运营商表示,他们甚至不能控制软件用于操作调用者行识别(CLI)系统。“任何CLI篡改,如果它发生,是在市场上使用各种可用的it解决方案。
没有绝对的参与服务提供商在这样一个玩忽职守的Rajan马修斯,总干事,印度手机运营商协会(COAI),代表所有主要的电信公司。
Sharma说,火车正在“非常积极”与资本市场监管机构印度证券交易委员会,以确保主动股票消息通过消息或其他欺诈行为通过调用不发生。“我们还将考虑向消费者发布了指导方针所以他们都知道,”他补充道。
“股票相关提示信息可以发送只有印度证券交易委员会注册的实体和电话销售需要做预检验。
此外,关键字过滤和屏蔽被实现为每个火车的方向,“沃达丰印度等在电子邮件声明中表示。
