Re: cell phone hacked?
Did they provide any proof they could see the pics (i.e., screen capture or return email with your pics)? If not, I would think this is someone pulling your leg looking to get a reaction.
The only way they could have gotten these pics would be if:
* You gave your phone to someone and they forwarded the pics - but then you will have a history of where the pics were sent
* Your bf sent the pics somewhere
* Someone was looking over your bf's shoulder as he was watching (in this case, they don't have a physical copy)
* You mistakingly sent the pics to the wrong number or email
* Your pics are uploaded to the mytelusmobility.com site and you gave your password out (or someone figured it out).
Either way, until they provide proof - as in send you a pic - I wouldn't worry about it.
BTW- if you can convince them to send you a pic...and they do...then you've got an IP address or cell number that can be traced. If you push it far enough, you'll get 'em.Last edited by huggybear; 06-23-2008 at 12:12 PM.

Re: cell phone hacked?
it is possible to clone a sim card, thus cloning/duplicating anything that it receives. This is highly unlikely though. More info on SIM cloning here: SIM cloning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: cell phone hacked?
the sender could have been from the telusmobility.ca text message function where someone can send you a text anonymously if you so want...I would say someone is pranking you.

I guess its a lot like spam emails saying something that is untrue.

Re: cell phone hacked?
Early SIM cards, pre-2000, it was possible and on SIM cards that use the early, weak security.
The later SIMs, post 2001, and USIMs are very different and despite a few claims about cracking the later security, it is unlikely these SIMs/USIMs will be cloned using the current methods. Most of the operators use electronic countermeasures anyway, and apply numerous trap-doors to create dead man's trap.
This was a report that I wrote in 2002:
Mobile Telephone Evidence: Cloning GSM SIM Card Report
If the link fails, go to Mobile Telephone Evidence and use the search function at my blog.
