Digital Harassment Through 'Phone Bombing' Services Targets Individuals

Websites offering 'pranking as a service' allow users to flood victims' phones with automated calls and OTP messages, often causing the devices to become unusable.

Victims report experiencing fear and confusion, with many initially suspecting their phones have been hacked during the intense influx of spam notifications.

While some platforms offer a 'protection list' to shield numbers, there is no centralized system to prevent these attacks, which are often organized via Telegram.
