New base phone numbers A phonenumber.to database with numbers and addresses of subscribers has appeared on the network cellular operators... The service is positioned as a free resource that offers users information about subscribers of cellular, landline and satellite phones. Its database has mobile numbers big three operators, "T2 RTK Holding" (Tele2 brand), as well as Ukrainian operators... In some cases, the resource provides information about the place of registration of the subscriber. The owners of the site have not been disclosed. According to the Whois service, the phonenumber.to domain was registered on July 23, 2016. The .to domain is the national domain of the Polynesian Kingdom of Tonga. The resource was created for several reasons, according to the website of the service. The site's authors are nostalgic for phone books, they explain. In addition, the site should replace similar resources that force people to subscribe to paid sms, but do not provide any data in exchange. The service has and paid services... Users will be able to delete dossiers that they would not like to see in public access by paying 0.008 bitcoin (RUB 319.02) for this. The site was made, among other things, to support bitcoin. "V Lately the rate of this cryptocurrency has dropped significantly, but we would still like it to slowly recover, ”the creators of the portal explain. They also have plans for scaling their project. In particular, in the future, the creators expect to provide users with up-to-date information about any telephone subscriber in the world. "VimpelCom" did not transfer the data of its customers to any suppliers, says the operator's representative Anna Aibasheva. This is prohibited by current legislation, she said. There was also no data leak from the operator's systems, says Aibasheva. Unfortunately, subscribers often leave their personal data on various sites on their own, confirms Megafon's representative Yulia Dorokhina. The operator himself never publishes the data of our subscribers in the public domain, says Dorokhina. Tele2 carefully monitors the preservation of personal data of its subscribers and unauthorized transfer of this information to third parties or publication in the public domain is impossible, says the operator's representative Konstantin Prokshin. This database can be collected from open sources, for example social networks or sites on which users themselves leave their contact information, he suggests. In addition, information could be obtained using a viral software on smartphones, adds MTS spokesman Dmitry Solodovnikov. The primary analysis of the presented database suggests that the data was obtained by machine aggregation of phone numbers left in the network by the subscribers themselves, confirms InfoWatch analyst Sergey Khairuk. He does not exclude that the creators of the service simply collect phone numbers that users can enter into the form on various sites. Perhaps the authors of the service took advantage of a vulnerability of some Internet service, which requires confirmation via a phone number, says Alexander Sviridenko, a programmer-researcher at Doctor Web. It is also possible that this database is filled with Trojans for Android, which leaked contact books from infected phones. The authors of the site can buy leaked databases of users of sites or telecom operators, or use all these and many other, simpler, options in combination, Sviridenko lists. The proposal to remove your number from their database by paying the ransom in bitcoins does not give confidence that the site creators will fulfill their part of the agreement after receiving the money. In addition, such payment would encourage immoral behavior and justify this business model, Sviridenko argues. Roskomnadzor has already received complaints against phonenumber.to about a violation of the law on personal data, says a spokesman for the department, Vadim Ampelonsky. Roskomnadzor, for its part, applied to the Simonovsky District Court of Moscow with a claim against an unidentified circle of persons - the owners of this site. If the court recognizes a violation, then Roskomnadzor will be able to block access to the resource, promises Ampelonsky. The hearing will take place on October 19, he adds. In July, Roskomnadzor, by decision of the Simonovsky court, blocked the autonum.info service, adding it to the register of violators of the rights of subjects of personal data. The free resource offered users to find the owner's phone number, name and even the make of the car by the car number.
A lot of people may need to track a phone number due to some justifiable reasons. However, it is often difficult to reach this information. Fortunately it "s possible to track a phone owner" s location info over the internet by using the phone number. For years this data was only available to a privileged few. After the passage of the Freedom of Information Act, the phone number tracking system has become possible for serving the informational needs of everyday people. Thanks to the partnerships established with the largest public record providers in the US, we "re simplifying the way to track the phone owner" s details by using only phone number. Please be aware that it "s not possible to track real-time locations of devices directly with phone numbers in civilian life. Hence all the websites are restricted to show only the tentative location of any phone caller. Nevertheless, our reverse phone number lookup service is available to everyone. Unlike the traditional white pages, in a mobile number search process, user can input the phone number and access the caller "s comprehensive details. These are online and offline public records and activities for finding name, current address location, address history records, social media pins, web recordings, photos, emails, profiles, professions or any other detailed background information of the phone owner.All searches are confidential and the owner is not be notified.
In this way, you can search any cell phone record safely using only its mobile number. Start tracking a phone number immediately by clicking on the link below.
The most simple ways open blocked sites
On March 13, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation combined the websites of several Internet publications and the blog of Alexei Navalny, once again forcing Runet users to think that in the near future blocking will become a routine for them.
TJournal tried the most popular blocking bypass tools and found among them a version "for dummies" - in which everything works at once, without settings.
Turbo Browser Modes and Google Translate
There are widely known ways to open blocked sites that do not require installation special applications and any settings. Many of them are not as effective as we would like.
For example, using the "turbo mode" in the Opera browser, it was possible to open the blog of Alexey Navalny, blocked by LiveJournal, without any problems, but it was not possible to enter the site, access to which was restricted by the provider.
At the same time, the traffic compression mode in mobile browsers Chrome and Opera did their best. Blocked pages loaded quickly and without distortion.
And the option with skipping the site through google translate proved to be ineffective. Neither Navalny's blog nor the Rutor.org tracker ever opened.
Web services
In terms of convenience, web services that offer the opening of blocked sites through proxy servers are not very different from each other. Most often they only require copying the link into a line on their home page and make one click. At the same time, they display the desired page with their own header and work very slowly.
One of the best among them is ProxFree. It is easy to use and does not add its own ads. Analogs include Proxyweb and Hide My Ass.
Smartphone Apps
The most obvious and most simple solution for iPhone and iPad users, it turned out to be the Onion browser running through the Tor Onion Router, where traffic is almost impossible to track. The only thing that is required from the user is $ 1 per universal version for all Apple platforms.
In practice, Onion is a seemingly unremarkable browser that allows you to open any blocked sites. It is suitable as a closed tool that does not affect the operation of the rest of the system. For Android, there is a counterpart called Orweb.
If you want to bypass blocking without using a third-party browser, then TunnelBear is worth a try. This service is available on iOS, Android, PC and Mac and works on VPN technology.
It is much more difficult to "get" it on mobile platforms than Onion. On iOS, he first offers to register, confirm email, install profile with VPN settings, enable his profile in the iOS options and only then start working.
But, unlike Onion, TunnelBear allows you to pretend to be a user of another country and use the services of, say, the Netflix service.
The main disadvantage of TunnelBear is the price. V free version applications are available only 500 megabytes of traffic per month, and the annual unlimited will cost 979 rubles (and this is only the price for iOS devices). You can't call him friendly. On the other hand, it has versions for iOS, Android, PC and Mac: the latter two are very easy to use.
Browser plugins
The most convenient and effective tool in this area turned out to be a plugin for Mozilla and Chrome called friGate. The authors of the extension separately note that when using it, speed is not lost. It really works "out of the box" and opens pages blocked in any known way, notifying the user about entering the "forbidden territory" just by changing the icon on the control panel.
The speed of friGate is ensured by the fact that it opens blocked sites from its own pre-compiled list. However, this is unlikely to become a problem for someone: it is replenished as quickly as possible.
An offer from competitors called hola! proved to be noticeably worse. First, you need to manually select VPN needed country. Secondly, the plugin often turns the layout of blocked pages into a mess and looks messy in itself. However, as the creators note, it is more intended for viewing media content: to speed up the download of streaming video, it uses computers of other users with the plug-in installed.
Iron
The "iron" way to bypass the blockages is the Onion Pi portable proxy server based on the Raspberry Pi computer. It passes all the user's traffic through the Tor system and distributes Wi-Fi. The device will cost about $ 100, but it is not so easy to find it in Russia. You can also buy it with bitcoins.
My provider never got up to block RedTube,
