> Why would any sane person allow accepting connections like this from any device? I don't even want to allow anyone from my contacts blindly just because I have saved their phone number. That isn't an automatic "I trust this person implicitly" flag.
How is this any different than your phone accepting random MMS, imessages, or phone calls from any random phone number?
I assume my number was somehow leaked. While the search space is not prohibitively big for an exhaustive search, I don't think it's a common thing to do since I don't get nearly enough robocalls or messages to assume that.
