Canadian Police Arrest Three Men Behind SMS Blaster Scam That Allegedly Hijacked Thousands of Phones
According to police, this device mimics legitimate cell towers, tricking nearby mobile phones into connecting automatically with it.
Once connected, the SMS blaster can send out fraudulent texts that appear to come from trusted institutions like banks or service providers.
Toronto police began investigating the scheme in November 2025 after being alerted by a security partner about a suspected SMS blaster operating in downtown Toronto.
“We believe tens of thousands of devices were connected to the blaster over several months,” Detective Sergeant Lindsay Riddell said at the press conference.
Police say they are confident the threat posed by the SMS blaster in Toronto is no longer ongoing.
