The previous and current government claimed that #SIMreg / #SIMregistration will solve the #scams and #spams via #SMS.

Then what is this?

Is #SIMregPH law a total failure, or maybe, the government is?

Wait. I thought the #SIMregistration is the solution to SMS spams and scams, sacrificing the #privacy #security and #anonymity of the people, especially those who needs it.

So, what in the world is this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They said #SMS #spam will be solved if there is #SimRegPH. I guess that's why I'm still getting #spams. ROFLMAOL!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yep. Still getting spam texts. #simregistrationph
Good morning here at my side of the fediverse! Are your SIMs still active? #simregistrationph

The Philippine government is banking everything on the #Privacy and #Security hellhole called #SIMregistration to solve problems on #scamming and #phishing but they haven't blocked “g0v.ph” which can be used for such.

/facepalm

#Education is what we need, not foolish laws. (We already have a black market for pre-reg SIM cards a few months before the first registration deadline. ROFL.)

Well, we did warn them repeatedly, since the era of former President Duterte when this was first tackled.

What the? Are you kidding us?

“DICT’s ‘Project: SIM Check Mo’ puts subscribers at risk of number scraping, other attacks”

“The project lets any mobile user to text “SIM Check” plus the phone number of any subscriber to 1326 (DICT’s hotline), and they will receive the registration status of the number, the initials of its owner, and if the record of the number is in good standing.”

‘“Project: SIM Check Mo” is a “solution” looking for a problem that it can eventually become. Already, foreign numbers such as Malaysian ones are being used to spread spam and scam messages to Philippine mobile subscribers. SIM Check Mo simply cannot address that. As such, this project will be a failure from day one.’

DICT's 'Project: SIM Check Mo' puts subscribers at risk of number scraping, other attacks

While the project aims to protect citizens by identifying the owners of SIM cards spreading scams, it does the opposite to Filipino mobile subscribers: exposing them to further risks such as number scraping attacks.
