I don't know if this is occurring on the UBports end of things or the carrier end, but this is a somewhat concerning security bug.
I can send but do not receive SMS messages, I'm on dev channel, up to date as of today. I've filed a bug on that elsewhere. A couple of times a day I message my wife to see if she gets mine and to see if I get her reply. I never do. Today, I messaged her and she replied to the received message. I did not receive her reply, though her iPhone noted that the message had been received. She then got a message saying "Who is this?" to which she responded "It's your wife," and then a reply back saying "Huh?"
I did not receive any of her messages, nor did I receive any of the replies to those messages from whoever was sending them.
About 20 minutes after that, I DID receive a text message. It was an automated message from Venmo (or purporting to be so), with a 2-factor authorization code. That is the only text message I have received in several weeks. I have never had a venmo account.
My wife is using an iPhone, recent version, never has had any difficulties with SMS.
Can somebody explain to me what is going on, and how to fix it? I mean, like ASAP? I have no idea how much of my data is being compromised.
I am, to put it mildly, a little bit freaked.
