#Truecaller - The app has built its business strategy on spam tagging and it is one of the 4-5 apps on every Indian phone. In fact, we might uninstall all other apps but not Truecaller.

1⃣ El dia de ayer 27/04/2023, una amiga recibe un mensaje de texto de "+51931585464" (número reportado como estafa según #Truecaller), donde contenía un enlace acortador, que al parecer servía para consultar si es que habríamos sido acreedores de una supuesta Bonificación.🤑

2⃣ Examinando esa url acortada (https[:]//bit.ly/lbk-BonoAlimentario) a través de un tip (que se usa muchísimo en estas áreas de investigación #OSINT), vemos que esta URL, hace un redireccionamiento a una página web diferente a la de la entidad financiera #Interbank. 🚨🇵🇪

The EU’s GDPR &similar legislation across the globe, threatens Truecaller’s business, which we believe is on the brink of redundancy.

HOW IT WORKS
Fundamentally, Truecaller builds a “phonebook” and refines its spam database by:
1. Gathering identities of users and their address books.
2. Processing user-submitted “spam” numbers.
3. Identifying numbers which have exhibited spam-like behavior
