Call Bomber Protection - Guide and Tools 2025

Worried about what Is a Call Bomber? A call bomber is a malicious tool used to send multiple spam calls or messages to a phone number in a short period of time. It’s often used to annoy, harass, or temporarily disable someone’s phone.

How to Protect Yourself from Call Bombers

1. Block Unknown Numbers:
   Use your phone’s built-in feature or apps like Truecaller, Hiya, or Call Control to block unknown or suspicious numbers.

2. Enable Do Not Disturb (DND):
   Activate DND mode to silence spam calls. In India, you can register for DND by texting START 0 to 1909.

3. Report the Attack:

   • File a complaint with your mobile operator.

   • In India, you can also report cyber abuse at cybercrime.gov.in.

4. Use Call Filtering Apps:
   Install apps like:

   • Truecaller Premium (for advanced spam blocking)

   • google Phone App (built-in spam detection)

   • Should I Answer? (community-rated call blocker)

5. Change Your Number (if severe):
   In extreme cases, consider temporarily changing your number and informing trusted contacts only.

6. Avoid Sharing Number Publicly:
   Don't post your mobile number openly on social platforms or unsecured websites.

Who Is Behind a Call Bomber?

• Sometimes even automated bots running on platforms with little to no verification.

• Rarely, it may be used for revenge, extortion, or coordinated cyberattacks.

These attackers often remain anonymous by using:

• VPNs or proxy servers

• Temporary email accounts

• Anonymous platforms or Telegram bots

Is Call Bombing Illegal?

Yes. Call bombing is considered a form of cyber harassment and is punishable under cybercrime laws in most countries, including India under the IT Act 2000.

Note: If you're currently facing an attack, I recommend activating DND immediately and contacting your telecom provider for urgent help.

Can the Police Trace the Attacker?

Yes, if you report it officially, cyber police can trace the IP address, hosting server, or SIM activation details, especially if the attacker is using local tools or services.
