The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s anti-fraud task force warns: Some second-hand phones are implanted with trojans before they even enter the market. Once a SIM card is inserted and they connect to the internet, they can be remotely controlled.
Text messages can be sent, verification codes intercepted, and accounts registered—all without your knowledge.
There’s nothing wrong with saving money by buying a second-hand phone, but don’t skip flashing the software, inspecting the device, or buying through official channels.
