Original title: Online Hawking 'changed number artifact' can be changed into any number with one click
4hw.com.cn.com pretends to be a leader, a good friend, or even the owner himself. There are many cases of swindling by using the number changing software. The Ministry of industry and information technology has carried out special rectification actions for many times, and as of April 2016, 977 offline software numbers have been changed.
But recently Beijing News reporter investigation found that there are still active network number change software. Some number changing software sellers claim that their products are 'the best number changing artifact in the whole network', which can 'change into any number with one click', and support free testing of customers' designated numbers.
These software prices range from 97 yuan to 300 yuan. If you are willing to bid higher, you can still get the agency authority to develop customers and "be your own boss.". A seller told reporters that his monthly turnover was stable at about 20000 yuan, and when the volume was large, '30000 or 40000 yuan was normal'.
After experiencing a number changing software called 'Calla droid', the reporter found that the software supports any number segment of China Unicom, China Mobile, China Telecom and other operators. After setting the target number segment, the user can dial through with any number and display the home location. Network security experts say it's hard to identify the number changing software, and operators can't shield it.
The mobile phone number can still be dialed by changing to 7 digits
You can call any number you want. On May 18, Li Zhongquan (a pseudonym) introduced his products in a group of "telephone number change". This phone number changing software, which is said to be the best number changing artifact in the whole network, costs 97 yuan and can be called "unlimited number changing".
'you can dial the test number for free, and the other party will display the number. 'said Li Zhongquan. After the reporter added his QQ friends, he and his colleagues' two mobile phone numbers were dialed to each other for testing. In less than a minute, a phone call came in from the reporter's mobile phone, which was exactly the number of the colleague, but the colleague who was the owner didn't know it.
When the reporter asked how long it could be used, Li Zhongquan said that there was no limit and he could hit it casually. "But the one who told you that it could be used permanently must be a liar. We all know that it will be blocked at any time. As long as it's my client, even if the software is blocked one day, I will send the technology to the group for everyone to share. '
Li Zhongquan also revealed that he has been doing it for more than two years and that "nothing has ever happened.".
After paying 97 yuan and giving the other party a fixed calling number, Li Zhongquan sent the reporter a download package called 'Calla droid' and a video tutorial. According to Li Zhongquan, there are two products, one for Android and the other for apple.
In the video tutorial, Li Zhongquan describes in detail how to set the band and how to modify the number. After setting up the background, the reporter randomly selected '18888888888' and '19999999999' to dial. After the phone was connected, the caller ID of the mobile phone was exactly the two numbers, and the number of 19999999999 belonged to 'Shanghai'. The reporter again randomly selected other numbers for verification, and found that the software supports any number segment of China Unicom, China Mobile, China Telecom and other operators. After setting the target number segment, it can dial with any number, and can display the home location.
According to Li Zhongquan, this software not only supports 11 digit mobile phone numbers, but also can be changed to 7 digit landline numbers. The reporter tested the '1335555' number and successfully dialed it.
Is it possible to set up special numbers, such as the customer service numbers of mobile communication operators, banks and hospitals? Li Zhongquan said that the reporter's account number has only primary authority and can not be successfully dialed for the time being, but it can be done through technical means. Then he sent reporters a screenshot of his successful dialing, which included the caller ID of a mobile communication operator and a bank.
As an agent, you can open a number without restriction
After the reporter bought the software, Li Zhongquan further encouraged the reporter to spend another 666 yuan as an agent. 'if the agent has higher authority, you can open an account for customers to sell software, and the agent can continue to develop the agent. Li Zhongquan said, "if you apply for agency within 24 hours, you can get a discount of 100 yuan.". '
Li Zhongquan said that as an agent, you can add an account number corresponding to the calling number infinitely, sell it to seven customers and get back the money. "The rest is earned.". According to him, relying on this software alone, his monthly stable income is about 20000 yuan. "When business is good, he can make 30000 yuan or 40000 yuan a month.".
Through QQ group search, we found that Li Zhongquan was not the only one selling the software. Among them, the QQ group with group number 22272364, which was founded in 2014, has 227 people, and its main business is also "making calls by modifying any number on mobile phone". This software is more expensive and costs 300 yuan to buy. The reporter found that in the QQ group search box, you can find different QQ groups by inputting keywords such as' change phone number 'and' modify number '.
'There used to be a lot of promotion in search engines and web pages. Now the government has restricted this area. We can only find other channels. After you become an agent, I will tell you in detail the promotion methods and where to find the target groups. Do this line or to see the promotion efforts. 'said Li Zhongquan.
According to media reports, in December last year, Chengdu police cracked a case of swindling packages by using number changing software. Suspect mobile phone mobile phone number changed mobile phone number to the seller's mobile phone number during the double 11'period. He called the Taobao seller to give a courier customer service staff to get the identity information, order number and mobile phone number of iphone8 Chengdu buyer. After that, he opened the Express query website, searched the location of the package and the deliveryman's mobile phone number, and then used the number changer to impersonate the mobile phone buyer, telling the deliveryman not to send the mobile phone to the receiving address, but to pick it up at the store, so as to smoothly get the 'iPhone 8' that does not belong to him. In the end, Li was intercepted by the police during a 'pick-up'.

MIIT: blocking the diffusion channel of number changing software
As the main force of the rectification and clean-up work of the "number changing software", a staff member of the information and communication administration bureau of the Ministry of industry and information technology told reporters that the number changing software is just an app, and the operators behind it also need to set up platforms and lay lines. The reason for its existence is that it has drilled holes in the original design of the communication network.
It is understood that in view of the proliferation of online number changing software, the information and communication administration of the Ministry of industry and information technology has carried out the relevant rectification work for a long time. In the website page, search engine, mobile app store, e-commerce platform, social platform and other space, it has effectively cracked down on the behavior of online number changing software by means of keyword blocking, software off shelves, information deletion, account blocking, etc.
"The effect of the whole operation is still very obvious. Now there are few. We can't rule out that some of the more hidden ones still exist. In particular, some of the servers set up in foreign countries. "The above staff members said that they would carry out verification according to the clues provided by the reporters, resolutely block the online publishing, search, dissemination and sales channels of the software, so that the illegal software can not be sent, seen, searched and downloaded.

Expert: call back can crack the number changing software
Zhenyu, an Internet Security Engineer, introduces that this number changing software is mainly realized through an intermediate IP platform or converter. "That is to say, when a phone is called out, it is not realized by point-to-point direct dialing. There is a & lsquo; messenger & quot; in the middle, and this & lsquo; messenger & quot; has the right to modify the number. '
Zhenyu said that the operators of this illegal number changing technology could not identify it at all, so they could not intercept or block the changed number. However, many people with ulterior motives used this technology to cheat by pretending to be government departments or public security, hospitals and other institutions.
So how to identify the incoming calls that have been modified by the number changing software? Zhenyucheng, the simplest way is to call back. If the other party's call is modified by the number changing software, as long as the number displayed is called back, the other party cannot answer.
'if one day you receive a familiar number, but the other person is a stranger, as long as the other person talks with you about issues related to interests, you must be careful. You can confirm the authenticity by callback first, and then distinguish it by other ways. '
