> Sender can be spoofed Is this worldwide or US? I for now trust the senderid and assume them to be valid if they are coming from bank etc. I also haven't heard of anyone spoofing SMS. Should I be more cautious?
> Is this worldwide or US? Worldwide. SMS is just like e-mail, you can put anything you want in the sender field. You should absolutely not trust SMS.

Utile the does the EU does notify them, which would be really funny tbh. Just imagine getting a SMS (chain): > You phone number and some of your data ( ) had been involved into a Facebook data breach. While Facebook is required by to inform you about this breach they insists of not complying with the law and keeping they users in the dark. As such we decided to do so. More information can be found here:
EU will not notify them, since EU doesn't have technical tools and legal framework to do it. If DPA finds Facebook in breach of GDPR they will be ordered to do it with additional fines for non complying.

Literally anyone with a fist of dollars and minimal dev knowledge access can parse those leaked numbers, send mass text via API and damage facebook even more than they would damage themselves.
Actually, the processing of this data itself is probably a breach of GDPR.

Are there Android apps for that?
Hushsms is one, but requires Xposed Framework.
(Btw a Google search for "Hushsms" results in shady/cancerous app stores that all seem to mirror each other. Where is the official website/thread?)

#58The "real names" myth was the biggest scam played against people in the past 15 years. The media are also wholesale responsible for perpetuating that damaging trend. Historians of the future will look at the past 2 decades with disbelief.

If you change your DoB every year like I do, you'll be fine...
Assuming not sarcasm, how does that help? Do you do this for just Facebook or for multiple websites?
