Other Techniques for Hacking Android Devices - Advanced SMS Phishing Advanced SMS phishing attack is a type of phishing scam that occurs due to security flaws in the latest Android-based smartphones. The attack vector mainly depends on a process called Over-the-Air (OTA) provisioning, which is mainly used by network operators.
