Incidents of Nokia 1100 handsets being in demand for a price which is as high as $33,000 in some cases and the subsequent investigations by agencies have revealed that the model has login details of transactions carried out through it and therefore can be misused by hackers.

This was revealed by Netherlands-based Ultrascan Advanced Global Investigations which was roped in by the police to investigate why people were ready to pay so much for an old version of handset.

Handsets manufactured at Nokia’s Bochum, Germany are reported to be prone to such hacking and not the entire range.
