Well you can send people “SMS” messages from an email system; if you know who the carrier on that number is. usually it’s [the phone number]@[their service].
it’s not hard to find what the domain name for the email transfer service is, and who owns which cell phone, and they can just buy a list of phone numbers that ping off college cells under specific circumstances that would indicate they’re college students.
Yeah, I used to use it to send out 2 factor setup links for RSA. Users standardly couldn’t get their work email on their work phone until they were enrolled in Intune, so new users, or users who handnt already set up Windows Hello, I’d just grab their ISP from the cell phone distribution list or ask them if it was a personal phone and send it through att or Verizon etc.
And you can have an email server in some Latin American country who doesn’t give a fuck (and why should they?) and basically create a new domain when ever you get shut down for spammy spam.
