Phone hacked?
I have received several text messages - example, "No Subject/Message size: 1KB/Expires 2:00 PM DEC 16. Three identical messages were within five minutes. It appears that the phone is trying to download a text that is too large. All of these messages appear to come from known senders but they did not send them. My wife is also receiving similar texts from persons in her contacts. I suspect we've been hacked. Any suggestions appreciated.
Sounds like one of those rogue games that for some free premium credits. You grant them access to your contacts. Then they sp all of your contacts and you as your contacts. Have you installed anything recently that might be the cause. of this?
Sorry for late reply. No, I have not knowingly installed anything that might be the cause. I should add that these texts appear to come from only two known contacts but those contacts did not send the texts. I am continuing to receive these texts up to today when I received eight more, four from each contact. I can't simply block the numbers because they are legit contacts. As you might have guessed, I am not tech savvy. Thanks
