I have received a message under Telstra message and asked to restart my modern and National Broadband Network connection box. In the message it states that thehy will contact me via SMS from this number 0457918086 if further action is needed. I have NOT restarted my modern and National Broadband Network as I am not sure it is a trap for them to hack into my wifi.
